- Myth 1
Myth: Tenants cannot be evicted in the winter.
Fact: Yes. Tenants can be evicted in the winter. The only consideration given, as it relates to time-of-year where tenants are typically allowed a grace-period, is approximately a week before and the time between Christmas and New Year.
- Myth 2
Myth: A 24 Hour Notice of Entry allows entry only within 24 hours.
Fact: No. A Landlord may enter between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm (subject to certain restrictions). The notice must, at minimum, be served 24 hours prior to entry.
- Myth 3
Myth: Notice of intention to renew/not renew must be served for fixed-term tenancy.
Fact: Neither party is required to give notice to terminate a fixed term tenancy.
- Myth 4
Myth: A Notice of Objection voids the Landlord’s claim/allegations.
Fact: No. A Notice of Objection does not absolve the Tenant from alleged breaches. The Landlord should pursue appropriate legal recourse in a timely manner.
- Myth 5
Myth: A 14-Day Tenancy Termination Notice must be served before applying for legal remedy.
Fact: No. The Landlord may apply to a court to terminate the tenancy or may terminate the tenancy by means of a 14-day Tenancy Termination Notice.
