As the owner, you are allowed to evict the tenant if you plan on living in their unit, or allowing a family member to use it. But you or the family member must intend to live there, and you’ll have to provide compensation and sufficient notice.
It’s illegal for a homebuyer to evict a tenant under a false claim of the “Landlord’s Own Use” rule. If you evict your tenant and they find out you weren’t truthful, the tenant could sue you for moving costs and the higher rent paid at their new home. Moreover, the Ontario Rental Housing Enforcement Unit may investigate the matter and press charges. [기사 전문 ↓]
