What can a tenant do if the landlord gives them a Notice of Termination?
The tenant should first read the notice to see why and when the landlord is asking them to leave. They may wish to talk to their landlord about the notice and see if the problem can be worked out. If the problem isn’t worked out, the tenant can: • talk to their landlord about the notice and correct the problem as outlined in the notice (if the notice was given because the landlord believes the tenant did something wrong); or • leave the unit as requested by the landlord; or • stay in the unit and see if the landlord files an application against them with the Board. If an application is filed, the tenant can go to the hearing and tell the Member about the situation. A tenant may also wish to phone the Board’s call centre to learn more about the eviction process and/or get some legal advice from a lawyer or legal clinic. A tenant has the right to stay in their unit until the Board issues an eviction order based on an application filed by the landlord. A tenant cannot be legally evicted w
