What happened

The Tenant filed applications (T2 and T1) alleging harassment and illegal money collection. The key issue was whether the Residential Tenancies Act applied. The Tenant rented a room in a condo and was required to share a kitchen with the Landlord's son. The Board determined this arrangement is exempt from the Act under section 5(i).

The ruling

The Tenant's applications (T2 for harassment and T1 for illegal money collection) are dismissed because the Landlord and Tenant Board lacks jurisdiction. The tenancy is exempt from the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, as the Tenant is required to share a kitchen facility with the Landlord's son, who also resides in the building.
