Ontario is making several changes to protect tenants from landlords Ontario
to renovate a unit, landlords would be required to provide a report from a qualified person stating that the unit must be vacant for renovations to take place, update the tenant on the status of the renovation in writing, and give them a 60-day grace period to move back in once renovations are complete.
If the landlord doesn't allow the tenant to move back in at the same rent, the tenant would have two years after moving out, or six months after renovations are complete to apply to the LTB for a remedy. When a tenant is in arrears of rent, they may enter into a repayment agreement with their landlord to pay the rent they owe and avoid eviction.that will help to create a more balanced framework governing municipal rental replacement by-laws.
For example, the government is considering requiring replacement units to have the same core features, such as the number of bedrooms, as original units. This proposal would give existing tenants the right to move into the new unit while paying the same rent.Residential Tenancies Act
