Evicting for Family Member to Move in

[Navroze Pirza]

A question for the forum...

I own a few properties in Ontario, and am noticing that a few tenants are constantly missing rent payments.  Once the N4 is delivered, they take the full 14 days to pay the rent, and then seem to be fine to repeat each month.

Now with the holidays over, three of these tenants seem to think it's fine to not pay rent.  This is becoming a pattern.

While I can continue to issue an N4, and then an N8 (this requires 7/8 months of this type of late payment), this seems largely useless.  Tenants seem to manage to get around this quite easily.

Is there a creative way to evict tenants like this that anyone has found (paying them to leave has been offered, and they have said no).

Any help here is appreciated.  Any sort of creative approach which anyone's found success with would be very much appreciated.
