Up now: the province is making changes to the rules for tenants and landlords via Bill 60. The City is worried about it. Council will vote on whether to oppose. From a new report, here's a quick summary of what's on the table from Queen's Park. secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

The Government of Ontario is consulting on the following four proposals until November
22, 2025, specifically amendments to:
• Reduce the compensation requirements for landlord's own use evictions;
• Shorten the rent arrears eviction notice period;
• Shorten the period of time available to request a review of an LTB order; and
• Change the rules related to renters raising new issues at an LTB rent arrears
hearing.
There are also a number of additional measures proposed in Bill 60 that are currently
not being consulted on directly - including defining the term “persistently late” that would
determine when a landlord can file an eviction application for late payments; as well as
other administrative measures to the LTB and eviction processes, including:
• Restricting the LTB’s ability to review, delay, or overturn eviction decisions;
• Transferring authority to the Province to determine the content of official eviction
forms;
• Increasing access to LTB decisions and orders; and
• Increasing enforcement resources to enforce LTB eviction orders and reduce wait
times for evictions.
