FMTA Condemns Ford Government's Assault on Tenant Rights with Bill 60
Bill 60 would speed up evictions, remove tenant legal protections, and risk ending rent control, worsening Ontario’s housing crisis with nearly one-third of residents as tenants, FMTA says.
- The FMTA yesterday condemned Bill 60 as a catastrophic assault that will deepen Ontario's affordability and housing crisis by stripping key legal protections under the Residential Tenancies Act.
- The bill would bar tenants from raising new defence issues in eviction hearings, shorten the Landlord and Tenant Board review period from 30 days to 15 days, and eliminate compensation for 'own use' evictions.
- A recent AMO study found homelessness in Ontario could reach nearly 300,000 people, and Bill 60 would redefine 'late payment' to seven days, risking evictions for minor delays.
- The FMTA vowed to mobilize tenants provincewide, pledging to oppose Bill 60 as a gift to developers and corporate landlords at the expense of nearly one-third of Ontarians who are tenants.
- Amid broader rollbacks of public notice rules under the Environmental Bill of Rights, critics say the Ford government introduced exemptions like Bill 5, while FMTA warns Bill 60 will fast-track evictions for Indigenous communities, the elderly, low-income families and migrant workers.
