Holding

The landlord's tenancy notice is upheld, and the tenant's tenancy is terminated. The tenant must deliver vacant possession and pay costs.

Facts

The landlord served a tenancy notice to terminate the tenant's occupation of the suit premises due to plans to demolish semi-permanent structures and construct permanent ones. The tenant opposed the notice and filed a reference under section 6(1) of cap 301.

Issues

  1. Whether the landlord's tenancy notice should be upheld
  2. Whether the tenant should be evicted and pay costs

Reasoning

Outcome

The landlord's tenancy notice is upheld, and the tenant is evicted.
