What happened
The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy for personal use. During the hearing, the Tenant's representative raised a preliminary objection, asserting that the Landlord is a corporation. The Landlord conceded that both the landlord entity and the unit owner are corporations, which legally prevents the use of an N12 notice under the Residential Tenancies Act.
The ruling
The Landlord's application for termination based on an N12 notice was dismissed. Because the Landlord is a corporation, they are legally prohibited from reclaiming a rental unit for personal residential occupation under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. The tenancy continues.
