Home / FAQs / What are the legal reasons for eviction in Ontario?

The Residential Tenancies Act permits landlords in Legal Eviction Ontario to evict tenants for certain legitimate causes. Rent nonpayment, property damage, unlawful activity, or infringing on the rights of other tenants are common justifications.

The tenant or a member of their immediate family may also be evicted by the landlord if they require the apartment for personal use. Eviction may sometimes be the result of the unit’s conversion or refurbishment. 

However, landlords are obligated to notify tenants when required, adhere to the correct processes, and, if needed, request clearance from the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).
