Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act allows a landlord to end a tenancy for reasons unrelated to a tenant’s actions. These types of evictions are called no-fault evictions. For example, a landlord can evict a tenant:
- to complete a major renovation,
- to demolish the building, or
- because they or certain family members would like to live in the rental unit.
Landlords must bring a no-fault eviction in good faith, but some landlords use them to get new tenants who pay more rent. This is known as a bad faith eviction.
This webinar covers:
- municipal renoviction and demoviction bylaws
- what demovictions and renovictions are, and Form N13
- landlords’ own-use evictions and Form N12
- what to do if a landlord uses a no-fault eviction in bad faith
- how community workers can advocate for stronger tenant rights
ASL interpretation will be available. This webinar will be recorded and available online later.
Speakers:
- Laura Anonen, Community Development Worker, Don Valley Community Legal Services
- Michelle Choe, Staff Lawyer, Don Valley Community Legal Services
