A homeowner who lives in her house wants to rent a spare bedroom to a student who will share her kitchen and bathroom. Does the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 apply to this arrangement?

Correct Answer

C) No, sharing the owner's kitchen or bathroom exempts it

Section 5(i) says the Act does not apply to living accommodation whose occupant must share a bathroom or kitchen with the owner, or the owner's spouse, child or parent (or the spouse's child or parent), where that person lives in the building. The student would share with the resident owner, so the Act does not apply.

Answer Options
A
Yes, every residential rental in Ontario is covered by the Act
B
Yes, but only if the stay will last longer than 12 months
C
No, sharing the owner's kitchen or bathroom exempts it
D
Only if the student pays rent monthly rather than weekly
