I am going to share a rented house with several other students. We will each have our own room but share the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Will the Residential Tenancies Act cover our house?

If you or one of the other students sharing the house is also the landlord, then the tenancy would not be covered by the Act. If the landlord is not living in the house or sharing the living quarters, the tenancy is covered by the Act.
