What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to a property purchase and claimed intent for personal occupation. However, the application was dismissed as the purchaser intended to use the property for seasonal and recreational purposes, not primary residential occupation.

The ruling

The application was dismissed because the purchaser intends to use the property for seasonal and recreational purposes, which does not meet the legal definition of 'residential occupation'.
