http://www.ltb.gov.on.ca/en/Key_Information/STEL02_111677.htmlEnding a tenancy by the landlord A landlord can end a tenancy only for the reasons allowed by the Act. The first step is for the landlord to give the tenant notice in writing that they want the tenant to move out. The proper forms a landlord must use for giving a notice to end the tenancy are available from the Board. If the tenant does not move out after receiving the notice, the landlord can ask the Board to end the tenancy by filing an application. The Board will decide if the tenancy should end after holding a hearing. Both the landlord and the tenant can come to the hearing and explain their side to a Member of the Board. The Act allows a landlord to give a tenant notice if the tenant, the tenant’s guest or someone else who lives in the rental unit either does something they should not do, or does not do something they should. For example:• not paying the rent in full,• persistently paying the rent late,• causing damage to the rental property,• illegal activity,• affecting the safety of others,• disturbing the enjoyment of other tenants or the landlord,• allowing too many people to live in the rental unit (“overcrowding”),• not reporting income in subsidized housing. In some cases, a landlord can give a tenant notice based on the presence or conduct of a pet the tenant is keeping, such as where a pet causes damage to the rental property.Other reasons for eviction There are some other reasons for eviction that are not related to what the tenant has done or not done. For example:• the landlord wants the rental unit for their own use or for the use of an immediate family member or a caregiver,• the landlord has agreed to sell the property and the purchaser wants all or part of the property for their own use or for the use of an immediate family member or a caregiver,• the landlord plans major repairs or renovations that require a building permit and vacant possession,• the landlord plans to demolish the rental property,• in a care home that is occupied for the sole reason of receiving therapy or rehabilitation, the tenant’s rehabilitation or therapy program has ended,• a tenant of a care home needs more care than the care home can provide, or no longer needs the level of care provided by the landlord.
