What happened

Landlord applied for an order to determine whether the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 applies to the rental unit occupied by the Tenant. The Landlord argued that the rental unit is exempt from the Act under section 5(a) as it was intended for temporary accommodation for travelling workers.

The ruling

The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 does not apply to the rental unit occupied by the Tenant, as the unit was intended for temporary accommodation of travelling workers and is exempt under section 5(a) of the Act.
