Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act lays out the legal ways a landlord can evict a tenant. Here are the most common reasons why that might happen: - A tenant didn’t pay rent - A tenant lied or misrepresented their income to the landlord - A tenant committed illegal acts - A tenant caused unreasonable damage to a unit or building - A tenant has been disruptive or unsafe - A landlord needs to do extensive work on the unit - A landlord needs the unit for them or a family member to live in To get an eviction, the landlord will have to prove to the Landlord and Tenant Board that they have legal grounds for wanting to evict a tenant. If it’s later found out that they did not have a legal reason for wanting an eviction, they could get in a lot of trouble.
