More than 30,000 Ontario landlords have signed a petition urging the Ford government to implement an automatic evictions process to speed up delays at the LTB.

City staff recommends a permanent transition from interest-free loans to a grants-based model, while continuing to collect some of the outstanding loans previously disbursed through the program.

A Burnaby, B.C. landlord has issued letters to approximately 30 tenants at a 14th Ave. apartment building, demanding that they submit canine stool samples, says a recent article from CBC News. The dog owners, one or two of which are guilty of leaving dog excrement in the building’s stairwell on two separate occasions, could face eviction if they refuse to comply.
