What does “ending a tenancy for cause” mean?
Disclaimer: This is legal information only, not a legal advice.
Did you know that a landlord may be able to end a tenancy early when a tenant, their guest, or someone living in the rental unit engages in certain prohibited conduct?
Some common examples include:
• Non-payment of rent or utilities
• Damage to the rental unit
• Substantial interference with the landlord or other tenants
• Illegal activity in the rental unit
Understanding the proper process is important because landlords must follow the requirements under the Residential Tenancies Act.
If you are dealing with a Landlord and Tenant Board matter, Small Claims Court matter, or traffic ticket, professional legal advice can help you understand your options.
