Can you be evicted from your rental home in the winter?

In Ontario , tenants cannot be evicted for frivolous reasons and the Residential Tenancies Act affords a number of protections that might help to prevent that from happening.

Lawyer Karly Wilson says enforcement of evictions is not connected to the time of year in any way.

Wilson says as far as she knows, a ban on winter evictions has never been implemented.

“That’s the time where if you haven’t already contacted legal representation, please do so and see if you can get some kind of legal advice or assistance about your options. There may still be an opportunity for you to stay,” she says. “Or take that date seriously and come up with a plan so that you are not evicted into homelessness in [ winter months ].”.
