What stops them issuing a no-fault eviction notice as soon as the COVID-19 notice is relaxed, because on their preference for a more creditworthy tenant?

- monkeywork 7y agoall evictions require approval by the LTB ... Landlords are fine to file an eviction but it has to be approved and while no official policy has come out yet it's incredibly reasonable to expect that there will be provisions put in place to keep people from just being insta-evicted once the state of emergency is over. that said those that can pay their rent SHOULD BE, because I imagine one of the critera for having the LTB rule in your favour is showing you were in a hardship at the time.
- Kluny 7y agoI'm in BC, not Ontario, but no-fault eviction isn't a thing here. You can evict a tenant for reasons such as: - didn't pay rent - late paying rent at least three times - your family is planning to occupy the unit - unit is uninhabitable - major damage to property - broke the terms of the lease Family occupancy is the most common workaround that landlords use, and it takes a long time to make it happen. Followed by "renoviction" (leaving the unit in disrepair until they can force the tenant out for construction). That is also expensive and takes a long time. In any case, there has to be a reason.
- def8cefe 7y agoThere is no such thing for a residential lease in Ontario (except in cases where the landlord rents a room in a house and lives there also, iirc).
