What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to determine whether the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 applies to the tenancies in the rooming house. The Landlord claimed the tenancies are exempt under section 5(i) of the Act because the Tenants are required to share a kitchen with the Landlord.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 applies to the tenancies in the rooming house.
