I rent a restaurant operated by the tenant that includes a residential area in the rear and above. Is this covered by the Residential Tenancies Act?

Based on your description of the rental unit, it seems that this type of tenancy would be exempt from the Residential Tenancies Act under Section 5(j). Therefore, we recommend that you consult with a lawyer that deals with commercial tenancies.
