In the past we have taken, and we are still committee to, a selective approach to any transition landlord and tenant law might make from property to contract.... The Commission recommends that in The Landlord and Tenant Act, and in these other Acts, the term "lease" should be discarded in favour of the term "tenancy agreement".... The following definition is suggested: "tenancy agreement" means a written, oral or implied agreement between a landlord and a tenant for the possession of premises.
