Section 63 — Termination for cause, damage, shorter notice period

Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 · Security of Tenure

The statute text

63 (1) Despite section 62, a landlord may give a tenant notice of termination of the tenancy that provides a termination date not earlier than the 10th day after the notice is given if the tenant, another occupant of the rental unit or a person whom the tenant permits in the residential complex,

(a) wilfully causes undue damage to the rental unit or the residential complex; or

(b) uses the rental unit or the residential complex in a manner that is inconsistent with use as residential premises and that causes or can reasonably be expected to cause damage that is significantly greater than the damage that is required in order to give a notice of termination under clause (a) or subsection 62 (1).

(2) A notice of termination under this section shall set out the grounds for termination.

(3) Subsections 62 (2) and (3) do not apply to a notice given under this section.
