What happened
Tenant applied for an order to determine whether the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 applies. The landlord claimed the property was exempt under section 5(i) of the Act as the tenants were required to share the kitchen and bathroom with the landlord. The landlord changed the locks and evicted all tenants on July 12, 2023.
The ruling
The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 applies to the rental unit or residential complex. The landlord did not establish the exemption under section 5(i) of the Act. The landlord did not prove that he lived in the property.
