Holding
The Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to hear the dispute due to the lease agreement not being a controlled tenancy.
Facts
The Tenant claimed a controlled tenancy, but the Respondent argued for a lease agreement. The Tribunal found the lease agreement valid and for a term of six years.
Issues

Reasoning
