First, check to see if you’re covered by the Residential Tenancies Act. Most people in Ontario renting a private residential unit are protected by the RTA but there are certain arrangements that aren’t covered. If you aren’t covered, your options are limited and you should look for legal advice. If you are covered, then know that landlords aren’t allowed to evict you on your own. They must follow an eviction process and get an order from the LTB. They can’t kick you out or ask the sheriff to come without this order. You can let your landlord know that trying to evict you without this order could create a big legal headache for them later. Remind them that they should be applying for the LTB for a ruling first.
