Applications for personal use eviction are up 77% in Toronto, worrying advocates - eviltoast

Data shows the number of applications landlords have filed to evict tenants for personal use in 2023 so far has already surpassed the total number of applications in 2022.

In Ontario, landlords can use something called an N12 eviction notice to force tenants to move out of an apartment if the owner, a member of their immediate family, or a caregiver wants to move in. An N12 can also be issued for the same reasons by someone who’s just bought a property.

From January through September 2023, 1,767 N12 evictions have been applied for in Toronto, according to data from the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB). That’s well above the total applications made in 2022: 1,312.

N12 applications have increased 77 per cent in 2023 so far based on a comparison of the first nine months of 2022 and 2023.
