- Municipal Scan of Renoviction By-Laws - 2024-217.pdf
For information only, this report summarizes what other Ontario municipalities are doing about "renovictions" — when a landlord uses renovations to push out a tenant and avoid letting them return at their old rent. It notes tenants can already complain to the Landlord and Tenant Board, that municipal by-laws in this area are new, costly and legally untested, and that no further action is recommended at this time.
