The appellants leased summer resort lots within Rondeau Provincial Park from the Crown.
The leases expressly restricted the use of the premises to recreational purposes and stated that the Tenant Protection Act, 1997 did not apply.
The appellants appealed a decision of the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal, arguing that the Act bound the Crown by necessary implication.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, holding that the Act does not bind the provincial Crown and that the cottages do not constitute residential units within the meaning of the Act.
