Toronto could soon make it much harder for landlords to kick out tenants

Toronto is contemplating new regulations to curb "bad faith renovictions," drawing inspiration from a Hamilton bylaw that mandates landlords to secure a renovation permit before issuing renoviction notices. The aim is to prevent landlords from evicting tenants under the pretense of renovations to increase rents. If passed, the bylaw would necessitate landlords to furnish renovation details and ensure the units stay livable during the process, protecting tenants from profit-driven renovictions amid escalating rental prices in Toronto.
