Holding

The notice is not defective or invalid as the reference from which the appeal arose was determined more than 12 months before the notice was issued.

Facts

The Tenant and Landlord had a lease agreement for a property known as 'Diani House'. The Landlord gave the Tenant a notice to vacate the premises on 24th November 2020, claiming he intended to use the property for a year as his residence.

Issues

  1. Whether the notice of termination of tenancy dated 24th November 2020 ought to be upheld or dismissed.
  2. Whether the previous court proceedings over the suit premises affects the instant proceedings.
  3. What reliefs ought to be granted in this case.

Reasoning

The notice complies with the Act's requirements and was not issued in the pendency of an appeal. The Landlord's intention to use the property for a year as his residence is a valid reason for termination.

Outcome

The notice of termination of tenancy dated 24th November 2020 is upheld.
