Tenant Eviction Sudbury, Ontario

[Account Closed]

Hi everyone,

I purchased a duplex here in Ontario and I would like to renovate the 2 bedroom apartment to raise the rent from 700 to 1200 but with the tenant landlord act in Ontario it  is difficult to evict a tenant, and must have a valid reason. (the main unit is owner occupied)

Any tips? 

Much appreciated,

Thanks!

If the repairs are extensive enough you can give 120 days notice to vacate to do renovations that would require a vacant unit.  But you have to give the tenant the opportunity to move back in at their current rent once the renovations are done.  So if they aren't a long standing tenant it might be better to wait the year or so to do the reno's at the next turnover. 

The Landlord Tenant Board eviction for personal use, demolition, repairs and conversion document has some info you might want to look over.
