Rights & LegalA housing co-op looks like a rental building and runs like a small democracy: members instead of tenants, occupancy charges instead of rent, by-laws instead of a lease, and a board — not a landlord — in charge. For property managers, that changes the client, the money, and the eviction machinery entirely: the Co-operat
Rights & LegalNot every tenancy has to end at the Landlord and Tenant Board. Ontario law gives landlords and tenants several legal ways to part company without an eviction hearing — the N11 mutual agreement and cash-for-keys deal, the tenant's own N9 notice, assignment, and negotiated moves — each faster than the queue when done rig
Rights & LegalAn LTB eviction order is not possession — only the Sheriff can enforce it, and the Sheriff has a queue of their own. This guide covers the whole after-the-order world for landlords and tenants: the filing package and the six-month deadline, the fees and the regional wait, the Notice to Vacate, what actually happens on
Rights & LegalThe hearing ended in a deal — a payment plan, conditions, a second chance. Then a condition broke. The L4 converts that breach into an eviction order, normally without another hearing. But it runs on a 30-day clock from the breach itself, a relatedness rule that filters which conditions count, and a declaration that mu
Rights & LegalThe tenant handed you an N9 — or signed an N11 — and then simply stayed. The L3 converts their own paperwork into an eviction order, often without a hearing.

The answer is different for landlords (retention economics, flexibility), tenants (no-fault eviction protection, leverage you didn't know you had), and property man
Screening & ApplicationsA credit check is just one piece of tenant screening — and the moment you go beyond it, the legal lines get sharp. Criminal record checks, references, employment and income verification, eviction history, even a social-media search: each is governed by the Human Rights Code, Ontario's screening regulation, and privacy
News & Policy UpdatesAs of July 1, 2026, a rent-arrears repayment agreement filed with the Landlord and Tenant Board must use the Board's official form — no more handwritten deals on the back of an envelope. Here's how the new s.206 rule works: what the mandatory form covers, the section 78 clause that lets a landlord skip a new eviction n
Rights & LegalYou moved out because your landlord "needed the unit" — then it went back on the market at a higher rent. That's a bad-faith eviction, and the T5 is how you fight back. This complete guide covers what counts as bad faith, the deadlines that split by reason (one year for an N12, up to two for an N13 renovation), the evi
