Summary

Minh Hai (John) Ly, while acting as a buyer's representative, failed to ensure that the Contract of Purchase and Sale for a property included a term requiring the seller to give legal notice to the tenant to vacate the property. He failed to ensure that the details of the tenancy were included in the contract and he failed to ensure that the buyer gave the seller a written request for vacant possession, as required by section 49 of the Residential Tenancy Act.
