S.O. 2006, c. 17 · PART V SECURITY OF TENURE AND TERMINATION OF TENANCIES

Section 66 — Termination for cause, act impairs safety

Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 · Security of Tenure

In plain English

A landlord may end a tenancy where the tenant wilfully or negligently causes serious damage, or seriously impairs safety — with no chance to fix it (Form N7).

The statute text

66 (1) A landlord may give a tenant notice of termination of the tenancy if,

(a) an act or omission of the tenant, another occupant of the rental unit or a person permitted in the residential complex by the tenant seriously impairs or has seriously impaired the safety of any person; and

(b) the act or omission occurs in the residential complex.

(2) A notice of termination under this section shall provide a termination date not earlier than the 10th day after the notice is given and shall set out the grounds for termination.
