What happened

Landlord applied to terminate tenancy and evict Tenants for personal use of the rental unit by the Landlord's child. The Landlord's application was dismissed due to the true Landlord being a corporation, which is not authorized to serve an N12 notice under the Residential Tenancies Act.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants was dismissed. The Board determined that the true Landlord was Never Rest Farms Ltd., a corporation, which is not authorized to serve an N12 notice under the Residential Tenancies Act. The transfer of title to John Sauve was seen as an attempt to circumvent the Act's restrictions on corporate Landlords.
