Ford government walks back on plan to consider changes to renters’ right to ‘security of tenure’

Making it easier for residential landlords to end leases The province wants to explore the possibility of modifying “security of tenure,” currently enjoyed by tenants under the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA). The current law means tenants have a right to remain in their rental unit as long as they follow the lease agreement and the RTA. Landlords cannot evict tenants without a legally valid reason under the current law and after a fixed-term lease ends, the tenancy typically continues on a month-to-month basis. But the Ford government says it would like to consult on “alternative options on lease agreement expiry” that would give landlords more control over their units, “allowing them to adjust tenancy arrangements based on market conditions, personal needs, or business strategies.” Speaking with reporters, Attorney General Doug Downey said the government is hoping to make conditions more attractive for landlords to put vacant units up for lease because they’ve heard “for years” that some landlords are not entering the market because they don’t have confidence in it. “We’ve heard from stakeholders that these evergreen leases that just go on with no end in sight may not be appropriate,” Downey said.
Instead of tackling the #homelessness crisis, Ford & co.
seem intent on pouring more gas (or dynamite) on the bonfire!
Bill 60 does not 'protect Ontarians'!
It would effectively make the flimsy rent controls we currently have, null & void! #KillBill60
