Principal Issues: Whether the ownership of furniture used to furnish rental apartment units for students is a distinct activity separate from the activity of leasing real property in contravention of the activity restriction in clause 149(1)(o.2)(ii)(A).
Position: No, provided that the furniture is ordinarily and customarily found in rental apartment units for students.
Reasons: Prior CRA positions with respect to the rental of furnished premises, and when separate activities may be viewed as an integrated whole.
