Why an eviction may be the best option in some cases
In many cases, such as when a tenant has not paid rent, eviction of the tenant is the best option to avoid further losses. It allows the landlord to regain control over the property and get a payment order against the tenant to collect arrears. It is also true in cases of harassment, damage to the rental property, or where a landlord needs the rental unit for herself or family members.
How can a Landlord Paralegal Toronto, Ontario help me evict a tenant?
The Residential Tenancies Act regulates the eviction process and includes many procedural checkpoints which a landlord should carefully navigate to evict the tenant. For this reason, eviction requires a thoughtful and informed approach. A landlord paralegal will do the following:
1. Eviction Notice
A landlord paralegal will help with the preparation and delivery of the eviction notice in the form that the Landlord and Tenant Board has approved. Therefore, it is a mandatory step in this type of case. A minor error may cause the Landlord and Board to dismiss a landlord’s application. As a result, the landlord has to start the eviction anew if it happens. An experienced landlord paralegal can do the following:
- Formulate a proper and most effective reason for eviction.
- Determine the correct dates to terminate the tenancy.
- Draft the notice in a language that is sufficient and legally consequential.
2. Eviction Application
A landlord paralegal can ensure that an eviction application is filed in compliance with the Residential Tenancies Act and Landlord and Tenant Board Rules, which involves the following:
- Select a correct application form and choose a proper date to file it.
- Draft an application to ensure that it includes proper calculation of the rent owing or correct language describing the tenant’s wrongdoings.
- Ensure that the application is accompanied by the documents which are mandatory under the Residential Tenancies Act and the Landlord and Tenant Board Rules.
3. Eviction Hearing at the Landlord and Tenant Board
Hearing is the high point of all eviction proceedings. Hence, the Landlord and Tenant Board holds an eviction hearing to determine whether to evict the tenant. For this reason, it is a chance for the landlord to present evidence and request an eviction order. So, if the Landlord and Tenants Board finds that all previous documents, notices and applications were correct and that the evidence is sufficient, the Board will issue an eviction order. A landlord paralegal will do the following:
- Determine and help to collect relevant and convincing evidence,
- Properly examine and cross-examine witnesses, including both the landlord and the tenant
- Introduce documentary evidence effectively and adequately.
- Make a proper and sufficient legal argument in support of the eviction.
