Attention all Landlords and Tenants
New legislation was passed in November 2025 under Bill 60 allowing for Landlords to apply to the board to evict a tenant for non payment of rent within 7 days of providing the N4
Notice, rather than within 14 days.
Also changed in the new Bill is that all fixed term leases no longer automatically convert
to a month to month tenancy allowing landlords to negotiate the next term of a lease.
There will be shorter processing times with stricter evidence overview and guidelines
Landlords are no longer required to provide a month’s rent compensation to the tenant
after issuing a N12 notice for personal use – 120 days notice is to be provided to the
tenant.
Lastly the appeal period has been reduced from 30 to 15 days.
While the changes in this bill have yet to come into effect, it currently appears that they will be implemented by mid-to-late 2026.
