What happened

Landlord applied for an order to determine whether the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 applies to the tenancies of CG and HA. The Landlord claims the exemption found in S. 5(k) of the Act, which applies to living accommodation occupied for the purpose of receiving rehabilitative or therapeutic services.

The ruling

The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 does not apply to the tenancies of CG and HA, as the Landlord's transitional housing program meets the criteria for the exemption under S. 5(k) of the Act.
