What happened

The Tenant applied for an order to determine whether the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 applies to the rental unit. The Landlords argued that the unit is exempt from the Act as the Tenant was required to share the kitchen and bathroom facilities with the Landlords' family members.

The ruling

The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 does not apply to the rental unit as the Tenant was required to share the kitchen and bathroom facilities with the Landlords' family members, which is an exemption under the Act.
