HAVE YOU RECEIVED AN EVICTION NOTICE?
Were you given
a Form N12: Your landlord requires your unit, or a Form
N13: Landlord wants to demolish, repair or convert your
unit? Have you been told to move because your landlord
wants to renovate your unit?
DON'T SIGN ANYTHING!!! Call 211 first.
NEVER ACCEPT CASH INCENTIVES!!!
DO ASK to see work permits for renovation and repairs: is it
necessary for you to move out? Are the proposed repairs
``cosmetic"? YOU CAN APPEAL THIS through the Landlord
Tenant Board, with legal advice.
COMMOM EVICTION TACTICS used by landlords: not
addressing disrepair; not resolving infestations; issuing
`'bogus" eviction notices/harassment.
BEST COURSE OF ACTION: Keep written record of the dates
of every request or encounter with Landlord. Organize with
the other tenants in your building, you're likely not the only
one, decide on a course of action.
