What happened

Landlord applied for an order to determine whether the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 applies to the rental unit. The Landlord claimed the unit is exempt from the Act because the Tenant is required to share a bathroom and kitchen with the Landlord.

The ruling

The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 does not apply to the rental unit because the Tenant was required to share the kitchen and bathroom with the Landlord, the owner of the property.
