27. The Landlord also testified that, given that the condensation issue arose while the unit was subject to the conditions of the “interim occupancy” period outlined in the Condominium Act, 1998, the Landlord did “own” the unit and was unable to send in his own contractors to repair the problem. The Landlord added that the interim occupancy period ended a few days after the hearing date.

28. Be that as it may, the Landlord herein meets the definition of “landlord” in s. 2(1) of the Act and, as such, he must adhere to the responsibilities of landlords delineated in s. 20(1) of the Act. Further, pursuant to s. 3 of the Act, the Act applies to rental units despite any other legislation, including the Condominium Act, 1998, or agreement to the contrary. Underlining all of this, section 168(2) of the Act confers, on the Board, exclusive jurisdiction over residential tenancies.
