Eviction applications spike in Ontario as rents soar, vacancies dwindle
Michael Hinds and Anthony DiCiccio (blue jacket) outside the apartment building where they live in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. Ontario has seen a substantial increase in applications to evict tenants, which housing advocates say is a ploy to turn over units, given the massive financial upside to finding new tenants in an undersupplied market with exploding rents. Michael Hinds and Anthony DiCiccio (blue jacket) are tenants at a 12-unit apartment building in Hamilton were given N13 forms, telling them to vacate the property by Feb. 1 for extensive repairs. Most have stayed put. The tenants have reason to believe the landlord wants them gone for good. Many have lived there for several years and pay well below market rates. The landlord has also made several cash offers to those who leave – most recently, $5,000 if they sign a form ending their tenancy. This flurry of activity happened after the building was sold last year. February 19, 2023.
