You
may be legally evicted
under the TPA for the
following reasons:
- You
have not paid your
rent;
-
You have “persistently”
paid your rent late.
There is no definition
of “persistently”
;so technically,
after a very few times
of paying your rent
late, the landlord
could apply to evict
you;
-
Your landlord or certain
members of your landlord’s
family needs to live
in your rental unit.
This does not apply
if the building is
owned by a corporation;
-
A purchaser or immediate
members of the purchaser’s
family decides to
move into your unit.
This does not apply
if the building has
more than three units;
-
You commit illegal
acts on the premises;
-
You or your guests
“willfully or negligently”
cause damage to the
building;
-
You or a guest “substantially
interferes with the
reasonable enjoyment”
of the building by
other tenants or the
landlord. This means
such things as making
a lot of noise, partying
loudly late at night,
etc.;
-
Your apartment has
more people living
in it on a regular
basis than allowed
by health, safety,
or housing standards
laws; and
-
You are a tenant in
social housing and
you misrepresent your
income.
See Sections 51, 52,
61, 62, 63, and 64 of
