The tenancy is exempt from the Residential Tenancies Act because the predominant purpose of the tenancy is for the Tenant to operate a short-term rental business on Airbnb, rather than for residential purposes.
The Landlord applied for an order to determine whether the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the 'RTA') applies to the tenancy. The Tenant was renting a coach house from the Landlord, a university fraternity, and was using the unit for short-term Airbnb rentals, which was his only source of income.
Tenant argued that Airbnb rentals are a residential purpose, not a business purpose, because Airbnb customers reside in the premises.
