The Ontario Act on the relation of landlord and tenant outside residential tenancies. A property or liability policy on a rented building has an owner who rents it out and a tenant who occupies it, and the exam asks which party the lessor is and which the lessee. In scope. s. 1, the definitions, where "landlord" includes a person who is lessor, owner, or the person giving or permitting the occupation of the premises, and "tenant" includes a person who is lessee, occupant, sub-tenant or under-tenant; and s. 2, that the Act does not apply to the tenancies the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 governs. The label also names s. 2.1, which excludes property forfeited to the Crown; it is not exam content and is named here because the file carries it. Out of scope and not searchable here: the rest of the Act, from Part I on. That includes the landlord's remedies, distress for rent, forfeiture and relief, and overholding tenants. A residential tenancy is governed by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, which is not in the corpus.
