No, since it would be treating people differently before the law for no substantive purpose. Lets say I rent the whole house then sublease out the secondary suite. That would be illegal according to the owners provision. You can't deny people the right to use their property based on how they come to legally enjoy its use, all other things being equal.
It wouldn't take that long to find a test case for charter provisions either, denying someone their livelihood when their life circumstances change due to an arbitrary provision that serves no purpose other than trying to mollify opponents who can't be mollified anyways (which isn't a objective that holds up as a pressing and substantive reason why the government should do something).
