Summary
Toronto councilor Josh Matlow is pushing to arm bylaw officers with new powers to investigate fake evictions—like bogus family moves or fake renovations—so they can gather evidence and hand it over to police. The move targets landlords exploiting loopholes, leaving tenants financially ruined and displaced, with little legal recourse. While Matlow argues the city must step in, legal experts warn it could overload an already strained system, and police say most tenant disputes fall outside their jurisdiction. Tenant groups also fear criminalizing renters. The motion heads to council this month, with potential to reshape how Toronto handles landlord fraud.
