The Ford government’s decision to scrap consultations on month-to-month leases closes a potential avenue to fix Ontario’s clogged Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB), according to a group representing small landlords.
Housing Minister Rob Flack on Sunday backtracked on the Ford government's plans to consult on changes to Ontario's long-standing "security of tenure" rules, a move critics warned might undermine rent control protections.
“Residents expect stability and predictability in Ontario’s rental market, and now is not the time to consider changes to this system,” Flack said in a statement posted on X.
