Amid an ongoing housing shortage in Canada, the idea of "renoviction" can be a worrying prospect for tenants.
A renoviction is when a landlord makes repairs or renovations to the unit that are so extensive, it would make living in the unit uninhabitable for the duration — thus requiring the tenant to end their lease and move out.
But some landlords use this process to evict a tenant, make basic cosmetic changes and then list the property at a much higher price.
As Sean Previl explains, a new bylaw in Hamilton, Ont., could put a stop to the practice — and advocates say similar laws are needed nationwide.
