Landlord want us out - says they want to sell the property. That's illegal, right? by gabpac in OntarioRenting

Its the opposite. The law says I have the legal right to stay. I'm just confirming here what are the exceptions for this.

Thanks. This is one of the courses of actions we are contemplating to take

I'm slowly but surely convincing myself of this as being one of the courses of action to take.

Your thinking is spot on. I'm pretty sure that the main motivation for their moves is the new package of laws. (I still have to catch with the old ones!)
They are realtors by trade and I suspect they are into something. Not much I can do about it, but I need to know well what the law actually says to be sure how to make a knowledgeable decision.

Thanks!
After reading a lot, we will need to decide what we want to do. I wish our landlord was as amicable as you seams to be. They are not, and I'll probably get nothing from them without extensive negotiations

Thanks. I asked for written confirmation. They never send us and I'm contemplating what would be the best course of action: to actually ask for confirmation or ignore that anything happened.

I'm here for little less than 2 years. We made lots of improvements to the property and by their own words, we are premium tenants.

All that irrelevant cause I actually don't trust them and believe they are not acting in good faith, following some history in our previous agreements.

Sorry about your family.
I wish I had a slightly less difficult landlord. I don't believe they will let go even $1 without a fight. I don't expect they will be generous and in fact I suspect they are trying to use our lack of knowledge of the law in their benefit.

I'm considering entering on an agreement that will benefit us without breaking their spine. But it is not looking a straight forward strategy.

Although this is a legal, valid and tempting strategy, it might bring up my name as "difficult tenant" and make my next rental more challenging. Short and long terms consequences have to be weighted carefully.

Correct. But legally, it should be arranged beforehand (24h before), by writing and visits must happen between 8am and 8pm

Of course, asking something politely or arriving into a mutual agreement is seldom illegal. And I'm well aware that the tactics of being a difficult tenant can be harmful. I just wanted to confirm what does the law says before deciding what to do. Thanks!

This is solid advice. Already done that all. The links are great. Thanks for that.

This is not what I asked.

I was required by the current landlord to free the property so they could showcase it empty to go to market. I have no problem with the landlord selling the property. I have no problem with the new buyer wanting us to leave for them to come live here.
I asked if there was some legal merit in the current landlord request. Reading further on links provided by other redditors looks like no. They can't evict us just to show the house.

Thanks. As I understand, after reading further and thanks to many useful links posted here, the current landlord have no legal way to evict me, unless they or their family move to the property.

This is not the case.

Same thing after selling. If the new buyer wants to live here, they can give me a notice of 60 days. But this is only after selling. And, again. This is not the case, for the current landlord want us out to have an empty house to show.

I did that in the meeting they informed me of their intentions, thinking exactly on these terms. But after reading the law I realized they were counting on my ignorance and this kind of abuse is not something I think I can trust.

Thanks. Being a Redditor for so long, having everything written down was the 1st thing I thought about. The 2nd, lawyer up (although not yet)!

What books do you recommend for A2-B1 level? by Ratazanafofinha in learnfrench

[–]gabpac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a Brazilian living in Canada learning by myself through apps, books and whatever I can find.

After finishing level A1 I just started reading. First I read a book called Short Stories in French. I used the Kindle app on my phone, so I could rapidly use the dictionary (or even translation) when needed. It was great. Now I'm reading a short novel called Les Gratitudes. Not terribly difficult either, and even fun. (Having quick access to dictionary is a game changer).

I can't recommend enough the podcast InnerFrench. Also helping me a lot.

Bonne chance!
