Subsidized Housing Eviction
Facing eviction from subsidized housing? RGI and social housing evictions have special rules. Professional representation in London, Ontario.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be evicted from subsidized housing?
Yes, but the process is similar to private rentals with some differences. Common reasons include non-payment of rent-geared-to-income charges, misrepresenting income, violating occupancy rules, or ceasing to qualify for subsidized housing.
What if I misreported my income for RGI housing?
Misrepresenting income is serious and can result in both eviction and repayment demands. However, defences exist: inadvertent errors, unclear reporting requirements, or circumstances that affected your ability to report. We can help negotiate outcomes.
Do I have the same rights in subsidized housing?
Yes, tenants in subsidized housing have all rights under the RTA plus additional protections under the Housing Services Act. You cannot be evicted without proper LTB process, and you can request reviews of subsidy calculations.
How long will my LTB case take?
Current processing times vary 3-12 months depending on application type and urgency. We work to move your case forward as efficiently as possible.
