1. The rental unit is not licensed with the City of Mississauga making it an illegal basement rental unit under the City by-laws. This is undisputed.

...

8. The Tenant contacted the City of Mississauga to report her illegal basement after she provided her notice to the Landlord to terminate the tenancy effective August 31, 2014. It is unreasonable to believe that the Tenant was forced to move out when she did not know she might have to pursuant to the City Order against the Landlord at the time she gave her notice. Therefore, I find that the Tenant’s evidence demonstrated, on the balance of probabilities, that she was not forced to move out because of the City of Mississauga Order made against the Landlord to comply with the by-law to either convert the rental unit or license it.
