Easier evictions for owners who want to move in
The rules for “landlord’s own use” and “family use” are tightened but clearer, reducing disputes at the LTB.
Higher fines for bad-faith evictions
If a landlord lies about moving in and re-rents at a higher price, fines can be much higher than before.
Mandatory compensation to tenants in more situations
Landlords may have to pay tenants 1–3 months’ rent depending on the type of eviction (renovations, landlord use).
Stricter proof required for renovation (renoviction) claims
Landlords must show legitimate construction plans. No more claiming “cosmetic upgrades” to remove tenants.
Faster LTB decision timelines
Bill 60 aims to speed up hearings, meaning landlords get decisions quicker for non-payment and other issues.
Some evictions become easier to file and process
Non-payment, safety issues, and illegal activity evictions will move through the system faster.
More transparency around rent increases
Landlords must give clearer evidence if they apply for Above Guideline Increase (AGI).
Longer ban on re-renting after certain evictions
After eviction for landlord’s own use or renovations, the landlord must wait a longer period before re-listing the unit.
Tenants get priority to move back after renovations
If a reno requires the tenant to leave, Bill 60 strengthens their right to return at their old rent.
More documentation required
Landlords will need to prove good-faith intentions more often (e.g., affidavit, licenses, construction plans).
