Tenants receive: fixed obligations, fixed penalties, fixed timelines, fixed liabilities. This is not a contract between equals.

Doug Ford government proposes to allow tenant evictions when leases are up in new bill — Toronto Star Currently, tenants are protected from eviction unless there is a legal reason — such as unpaid rent or the landlord wants to move in — even after their lease expires.
