I am deeply concerned about Bill 60, which would weaken renter protections and make evictions easier. We are in the midst of a housing crisis, and all levels of government should be focused on keeping people housed–not kicking them out.

Not only has the provincial government already threatened what’s left of rent control, but this bill includes clear changes that make it easier for landlords to evict renters.

This legislation would make it harder for renters to keep their homes by:

Shortening the time to appeal eviction decisions

Allowing landlords to avoid fairly compensating tenants they evict

Restricting renters’ ability to challenge unjust evictions

Reducing the required notice period before an eviction

This bill will increase evictions across Ontario. With over 80,000 people experiencing homelessness in 2024 (a 25% increase since 2022), it is more important than ever to keep people safely housed.

That’s why I’m calling on the government to:

Protect and expand rent control so rents stay stable in all units and between tenancies

Build more affordable housing across the province

Prevent homelessness by preventing evictions

It’s time for the provincial government to step up and deliver real affordability for people.
