Stop Compensating Tenants: New Rules for Personal Use Evictions in Ontario in 2026

Starting September 21, 2026, Ontario landlords gain a strategic advantage when ending a tenancy for personal use. By providing at least 120 days of notice—up from the current 60—you will no longer be required to pay tenant compensation or provide an alternative rental unit.

This shift is a critical opportunity for your portfolio’s net profit and long-term cash flow management. By proactively planning your unit recovery 120 days in advance, you eliminate unnecessary exit costs and improve your operational efficiency.

I am focused on maximizing your return on investment by navigating these regulatory updates with precision. Let’s ensure your rental strategy complies with the updated Residential Tenancies Act while protecting your bottom line.
