Dispute

Substantial Interference

Landlord

M., A.

Tenant

P.

What happened

Tenant PS applied for an order determining that Landlords MA and AA substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex. The Board found it did not have jurisdiction to consider the application because the parties were not in a landlord-tenant relationship subject to the Residential Tenancies Act.

The ruling

The Board found that the farmhouse was not a rental unit and that there was no tenancy agreement between the parties, so the Board lacked jurisdiction to consider the application.
