Is a third party tenant permitted to occupy the Leased Premises?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Oppong v. Desaro Holdings Inc., 2020 ONSC 2002 (CanLII):

Furthermore, the applicant argues that the existence of a third-party tenant in possession of the Leased Premises, even one that is not a party to the proceeding, is not a bar to the relief that the applicant seeks. See Zhang v. Goodland R. Inc., 2008 CarswellOnt 3534, at paras. 5, 10. I agree with the applicant that the presence of the new tenant in the Leased Premises is not a bar to the relief she seeks on this application, although it will have some implications for the terms of the relief that I am prepared to grant at this time and its implementation.
