Holding
The Tenant’s Complaint is dismissed with costs to the Respondent.
Facts
The Tenant entered into a lease agreement with Ms. Rachel Elizabeth Magu, a wife of the Respondent Joseph Mutura. The Tenant paid rent to Ms. Magu and later vacated the premises due to a disagreement. The Tenant now seeks compensation for renovations and a refund of a deposit.
Issues
- Whether the Respondent is a proper party and if a Landlord/Tenant relationship exists.
- Whether the Tenant is entitled to compensation for renovations and a refund of a deposit.
Reasoning
The Respondent denied being the Landlord and argued that the Tenant should have sued the actual Landlord. The Court found that the Tenant entered into the lease agreement with Ms. Magu and vacated the premises due to a disagreement, thus no Landlord/Tenant relationship existed.
Outcome
Dismissal of the Tenant's Complaint
Orders
- Tenant’s Complaint dated 16.1.2025 is dismissed with costs to the Respondent.
