Ending a Tenancy by Landlord
A landlord can only give notice to end a tenancy for reasons
that are allowed by the law. Before a landlord can evict you from
your home, he has to follow special procedures. This section explains
why and when you can be evicted and the steps that must be followed.
Possible Reasons of Ending a Tenancy
(eviction) by the Landlord:
Non-payment of Rent by the Tenant
- when rent or utility charges are not paid on a due date, the
landlord may give you a notice to end your tenancy (effective
after 10 days)
- if you pay your overdue rent within 5 days you are off the
hook but
- if you are three times late paying your rent your landlord
can proceed with the eviction
Unreasonable Tenant's Conduct
Landlords may end tenancies (effective after 1 month) for a wide
range of misconduct and illegal activities that include but are
not limited to the following:
- excessive damage to the landlord’s property
- unreasonable disturbance of the quiet enjoyment of others
- jeopardizing security, safety or physical well-being of another
occupants
- subletting without landlord's consent
