If a tenant gives notice after receiving an N13 to return to the unit after renovations are complete, what happens if the property becomes smoke- free? Does the tenant have the right to return as a smoker and be considered a grandfathered tenant?

If a tenant gives notice after receiving an N13 to return to the unit after renovations are complete, what happens if the property becomes smoke- free? Does the tenant have the right to return as a smoker and be considered a grandfathered tenant?

Your understanding would be correct in this case. Since the tenant has the right to return to the unit after the renovations are done, he is coming back under the same agreement and the same terms and conditions would still apply as before the tenancy was interrupted. Based on that, our understanding is that the tenant would be grandfathered until he moves out.
