Summary
Ottawa’s planning committee just approved a bold new bylaw targeting “bad-faith renovictions” — when landlords evict tenants under renovation pretenses to jack up rents. Though it won’t change provincial eviction rules, the city’s move requires permits for renovation-related evictions and kicks in January 2027, aiming to enforce honesty and protect tenants. Stories from displaced renters revealed deep personal tolls — from broken families to health crises — underscoring the urgency. One councilor voted against it, but future tweaks may include stricter reporting and tenant support like housing or compensation. This cautious first step signals Ottawa’s commitment to fairer landlord-tenant practices. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
