High Court upholds a determination order by the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), confirming the validity of a termination notice served by a landlord to a tenant. The original decision by the RTB determined that the landlord had the intention to sell the property within nine months after the tenancy's termination, as required by statute. The tenant's appeal, which sought to cancel or vary the RTB's order, was dismissed on the grounds that there was sufficient evidence to support the landlord's stated intention to sell. The RTB's findings were deemed reasonable, and the appeal was refused, affirming the landlord's right to terminate the tenancy and the tenant's obligation to vacate the property.
