In Ontario, all residential tenancies are governed by the Residential Tenancies Act. A tenancy may only be terminated by notice given by the tenant or an Order issued by the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Landlords and purchasers who intend for themselves or a prescribed family member to reside in the residential unit may issue notice to terminate a tenancy on a no fault basis.
Prescribed family members include:
The individual landlord or purchaser
Their spouse
Their children
Their parent
Evictions based on these applications can carry future liability should a tenant be evicted and the landlord or purchaser fail to follow strict guidelines after eviction. Croft Radan LLP ensures that landlords and purchasers understand these obligations prior to proceeding with a no fault eviction on these grounds.
Success depends on understanding:
which notice to serve the tenant
how to properly serve the tenant
which application to file
what evidence will you need
how to present your evidence at the hearing
how to enforce your order once received
Croft Radan LLP assists landlords with all steps of the eviction process, from determining the proper notices to serve, filing the correct applications, representation at hearings and enforcement of Orders once obtained.
