There is a growing trend of renovictions in Toronto, where a landlord illegitimately evicts a tenant by alleging that tenants need to leave the unit for the landlord to undertake renovations or repairs. The City of Toronto is developing a new bylaw to prevent bad-faith evictions and help maintain affordable homes for Toronto’s residents.

We want to hear from tenants, landlords, the organizations that support them and the public before finalizing the renovictions bylaw. This will help us protect tenants and ensure landlords understand how to follow the new rules. The City will report back with a proposed bylaw by October 30.

The City is hosting six in-person open houses to get your feedback, including one in Ward 4:
