TypeBusiness Premises Rent TribunalPostureApplication for Warrant of Injunction
Holding

The Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to hear the matter due to the absence of a tenancy relationship between the Applicant and the Respondent.

Facts

The Applicant, New Solta Ltd, filed a reference and application seeking an injunction. The Respondent, Naivasha Southlake Sacco Ltd, challenged the Tribunal's jurisdiction due to a lack of a tenancy relationship.

Issues

  1. Whether the Tribunal has jurisdiction to hear the matter
  2. Whether the Applicant has satisfied the conditions for warrant grant of an injunction

Reasoning

The lease agreement clearly indicates that the Respondent is the Tenant and Landlord is Mrs. Zipporah Njeri under the management of Wainaina Real Estates Ltd. The Applicant is not a party to the lease and there is no evidence of a tenancy agreement.

Outcome

The Tribunal dismissed the application for warrant of injunction.
