When evicting a tenant because a family member needs the unit how long does the family member need to live there before I can rent it out again?

A landlord can only terminate a tenancy if he/she requires the rental unit for his/her own occupation or for a family member such as a child, or parent of the landlord or the landlord’s spouse. You cannot terminate the tenancy for any other family member to move in.  You must reside in the unit for at least one year as your primary residence  A tenant has up to twelve months to file an application against the landlord with the Board if the tenant believes that you gave the notice in bad faith.
