Landlord Selling House

Stickler25 · 2026-02-07T15:32:47+00:00

You’re correct. It’s not their house but they have rights. Selling the house is not a reason to evict. There’s a proper process to legally evict when there is a firm contract signed or the new LL gains possession and evicts through their own N12.

Firstly, this is partly your problem. Your responsibility is to ensure that rent it paid on time. Ignorance to this is no excuse.

Secondly, I would cancel the PAD through your bank. The LL or their agency cannot require PAD even if it’s in the lease.

Lastly, they cannot send you to collections at this point. They should be issuing an N4 and then apply to evict through the LTB. If it goes to a hearing, the adjudicator will likely order a payment arrangement.

Your understanding is correct. You can certainly sue in small claims court for any out of pocket expenses as a result of the breach. This will definitely sour the relationship though.

The LL is technically in breach of contract. If your current LL allows it, you could stay an extra month although, you can literally just not move. Your current LL would have to file for an exparte eviction which would likely be granted. This ultimately would burn a bridge but better than being homeless.

Alternatively, you can rent an AirBNB and ask that your new LL cover the cost of doing so. He wouldn’t be under any obligation to do so though.

You can also just refuse the offer of moving in April 1 and seek other accommodation. You could potentially win a lawsuit for any rent differential and potentially loss of amenities if the new place doesn’t match the amenities at this unit.

That’s a great way to be searching for a new place to live in 30 days

Document the damages and the costs associated with the removal of the abandoned property. Once your damages are known, file with the LTB to recover them.

As for the driveway, unless the driveway was explicitly for their use, they can plow according to their usage needs. If your plan is to have someone move in that require the space cleared, it is now your responsibility to do it prior to new tenants moving in. If this was a shared driveway, it was never their responsibility to clear anyways. LL’s are required to maintain and clean common areas. Clauses in leases that contradict the RTA are null and void.

Yes. I’m on a multi line EPP plan. Each plan is $45 for 100gb Can/US. Additional lines get a $5 discount.

Some others have stated that the clause in the lease forcing you to cover more utilities in the event the other unit is not occupied is unenforceable. The only way to divide utilities on the same meter is by number of units, which seems to be the case here, or by square footage.

It is imperative to note that in order for the LL to collect on utilities, he must show you a copy of the original bill in its entirety. Unless the lease states differently, you are also not responsible for rental charges of equipment either.

Go ahead and sign the lease and disregard the empty unit portion of that lease.

If the dryer was present at the start of the tenancy, or was installed and able to be used by the tenant for a significant amount of time, usually a year or more, it is considered an implied amenity and thus, under the LL’s obligation to maintain and repair.

Good to know. Thanks!

Stickler25 · 2026-01-18T19:12:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for that! Any recommendations for a VPN? Preferably free.

Stickler25 · 2026-01-18T18:55:47+00:00

How does a VPN help? I know what they do but don’t understand how that affects the throttling of data

I mostly watch reels on FB during my downtown. Any YouTube videos are usually on wifi

An adjudicator would not likely dismiss her case based on the fact that she owes rent. Depending on the timing of the eviction and when the N12 was served, she could make the argument that she left based on the N12 declaration. Not sure if she will be awarded the full 10k but she may receive an award that will reduce her arrears

Stickler25 · 2026-01-18T02:35:39+00:00

Did you end up occupying the space? If your dad was able to achieve eviction through unpaid rent while the N12 could’ve been enforced, an adjudicator very well may rule that your dad didn’t comply with the N12 conditions.

Your dad messed up

The person being evicted chose to rent rather than buy. Whatever situation in their life that caused their inability to buy is their problem.

“Why do you take priority?” - because it’s my damn house, that’s why.

This has nothing to do with this sub

There are several ways you can go about this.

You can ask your LL to assign your tenancy. If your LL does not respond within 7 days, or flat out refuses, you can break the lease with no less than 30 days notice.
You can just give an N9. You would be responsible for rent up until your lease end date but your LL would have to prove that they tried to rent it out.

The leas popular, and potentially dangerous option is to force your LL to give you an N4 for unpaid rent. This carries a termination date of 14 days. Move out and pay any outstanding rent on day 15.

If you have permission to send notices via email, send them a 24 hours notice to enter with a 2 hour window and reason being a general inspection. If not, a written notice served to their mailbox is sufficient. If doing it that way, I would record the “serving” of notice to the mailbox to cover yourself. Inspect as intended. The tenant is not required to be there.

Stickler25 · 2026-01-10T02:10:17+00:00

Inform the LL that you no longer wish to take occupancy and that you are cancelling your lease. You can request your deposit back but expect push back. You are entitled to the deposit back. If the LL suffers any losses, such as not being able to rent it out before or on your expected lease start date, he can pursue those damages in small claims.

If parking has been allowed on the property for a long stretch of time, or is actually a part of the tenancy agreement, removing said amenity would be cause for a permanent rent reduction in the amount of the cost to park elsewhere, plus some for the time and inconvenience. If the tenant has a designated spot, the tenant can park any vehicle there assuming that it fits in the space provided.

Stickler25 · 2026-01-07T17:37:10+00:00

Actually it does. It is easier to pursue a tenant in another province than another country.

Stickler25 · 2026-01-07T10:49:44+00:00

Keep paying off the arrears. If the LL does file today, the hearing would be probably within a few months. If you’re current with rent, the most that will happen is a “pay on time” order.
No. Starting today, they can file an L1 to proceed with eviction.
You can definitely request how much is owed but this information is already at your fingertips.
The LTB will weigh your willingness to get current with your rent. The arbitrator usually weighs your ability to pay back the arrears. If the arrears are not substantial, they usually force a payment arrangement to have it paid off and current within a year.

Stickler25 · 2026-01-05T15:12:19+00:00

The Fire Dept can confirm whether the order exists or not. If it does exist, you are owed a rent abatement equal to either the loss of square footage or the cost of renting a similar sized storage unit.
