STANBAR PROPERTIES LIMITED v. JOSEPH ROOKE ONSCDC 04-212DV

[10] As well, it is my respectful view that the Tribunal erred in declining jurisdiction. The refusals of the respondent to arrange for pre-authorized direct debit and to provide proof of insurance coverage were in breach of consensual provisions of the tenancy agreement to which he was a party and, in the language of section 64 (1) of the Act, his refusals substantially interfered with the appellant's lawful rights acquired by it as a result of the agreement. Accordingly, the Act authorized the appellant to give notice of termination of the respondent's tenancy and, subsequently, to apply to the Tribunal.

[11] This interpretation of the Act is in accordance with the language of the Act and reflects the very wide jurisdiction which the Legislature has conferred on the Tribunal, particularly with respect to matters relating to the obligations of landlords and tenants and security of tenure.

[12] I am persuaded, therefore, that the Tribunal did have jurisdiction to grant the order sought and that it erred in holding that it did not.
