What happened

Landlords applied for an order to determine whether the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 applies to the property. They attempted to argue that the Innkeepers Act should apply instead, presenting evidence of reservation contracts, housekeeping services, and flexible stay durations.

The ruling

The Landlords' application was dismissed. The Landlord and Tenant Board determined it does not have jurisdiction to decide whether the Innkeepers Act applies to the property in question. The Board can only determine if the Residential Tenancies Act applies, not make determinations about other acts.
