How to protect yourself against 'renoviction' as rental markets heat up (https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/12/22/protect-yourself-renoviction/)
a recent report from Ontario’s Advocacy Centre for Tenants (ACTO) found there has been a 294 per cent increase in landlord applications to evict tenants for renovations or conversions at the province’s Landlord and Tenant Board since 2015-16.
In most jurisdictions, landlords need the permission of the Landlord and Tenant Board before they can evict tenants for the purpose of renovations.
But many tenants may not know that, and may move out as soon as a landlord asks them to.
