Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
The application is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Reasons

Both parties attended this video hearing.
The tenant claims that his quiet enjoyment of the premises has been breached.
The tenant resides on the 9 th floor of a high rise apartment building. The landlord of his unit is Crockers Property Management on behalf of the owner.
The premises immediately above the tenant’s premises on the 10 th floor has a different landlord, the landlord named in these proceedings.
The tenant says that his quiet enjoyment of his premises is being disturbed by the tenant above making noise. That is no doubt very annoying for the tenant.
The Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”) applies to every tenancy for residential purposes. It allows the Tribunal to hear and consider disputes between landlord and tenant. Section 2 of the RTA defines “ landlord” as ....”the grantor of a tenancy of the premises”.
In this case, the grantor of the tenant’s tenancy and the grantor of the tenancy above are different entities.
For that reason, the Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to consider the dispute and the application is dismissed for that reason.
Both parties applied for name suppression. The tenant has not been wholly or substantially successful and his application for name suppression is dismissed. The landlord has been wholly successful and the landlord’s name and details are suppressed.
