On the Radar - Recent changes to Ontario's rules for "no-fault” evictions"
December 7, 2021
Posted in:On the Radar
On September 1, 2021, the government made major changes to the Residential Tenancies Act. We talked about some of these changes in September's On the Radar.
This month, we look at 2 new rules that relate to what are called "no-fault" evictions, for example, when a landlord wants to move in. There are now:
- more requirements for no-fault eviction applications
- more options for tenants who were evicted because the landlord's no-fault eviction application was done in "bad faith"

On the Radar - Special COVID-19 rules about rent increases end December 31
November 4, 2021
Posted in:On the Radar
Many tenants will see their rent go up in 2022 for the first time since 2020. This is because, in most cases, the government of Ontario didn’t allow any rent increases in 2021. For tenants not covered by the rent increase rules of the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA), the increase could be a lot.
This issue of On The Radar looks at the rules in the RTA most landlords must follow if they want to increase rents in 2022.

New CLEO Guided Pathways for family court motions to change on consent
October 20, 2021
Posted in:New Resources
If you and your former partner agree to make changes to arrangements for your children or support, CLEO's Guided Pathways now offer help completing the necessary court forms. Guided Pathways for Motions to Change on consent help with court forms when both parties agree to change a final order relating to:
- decision-making responsibility (custody)
- parenting time (access)
- child or spousal support
- making a change to a written agreement about support, or
- other family orders
And if the parties don't agree on a change, there are also guided pathways for completing the court forms for requesting a Motion to Change and disagreeing with a Motion to Change.
All CLEO's Guided Pathways are available in English and French and are free to use.
