Well done @TenantAdvocacy on such an important win at the Court of Appeal on N12/landlord’s own use applications. Clear messaging from the Court on the need for the LTB to do more to stop bad faith evictions! twitter.com/tenantadvocacy…

A relatively rare Ontario Court of Appeal decision arising out of an LTB matter. The LTB Member did a sloppy job in granting eviction for a purchaser's use without looking at all appropriate factors. Tenants' appeal at C of A granted. #LTB @TenantAdvocacy coadecisions.ontariocourts.ca/coa/coa/en/ite…

Big congratulations to @TenantAdvocacy on their successful court ruling! Ensuring a fair process for tenants seeking justice is crucial, and this decision highlights the systemic failures of the LTB in addressing bad-faith evictions. This sets a a great new precedent. 👏 twitter.com/TenantAdvocacy…

The decison by the CoA affirms that the LTB has a duty to uphold the law and prevent tenants from becoming the victims of a bad faith eviction. Failing that, they must then take seriously tenant applications to sue a landlord for evicting them in bad faith.

The case is Elkins v. Van Wissen, 2023 ONCA 789 (Gillese, Benotto and Copeland JJ.A.) regarding a tenant application that had been dismissed by the LTB. The Court of Appeal found the LTB had erred in dismissing the case and has ordered it to return to the LTB for a new hearing!

Very proud to share that ACTO has secured a major legal victory at the Court of Appeal! This decision will have positive impact for tenants across Ontario in seeking justice if they are the victims of bad faith, own-use evictions by their landlord.

@TenantAdvocacy is pleased to contribute to today's discussion and assist the province in finding solutions to alleviate the housing crisis. twitter.com/ColinDMello/st…
