Member Update June 30, 2020

Relaxed eviction rules now in place; existing tenant eviction orders can be enforced starting Thursday 

Landlords with existing eviction orders can, if necessary, take tenants to court to enforce the order starting on July 2 as part of the provincial government’s recent relaxing of tenancy rule restrictions that were implemented at the beginning of the pandemic. 

The relaxed rules also immediately allow landlords to: 

  • issue a Notice to End Tenancy for any reason other than unpaid or late payment rent, subject to a notice period
  • enforce a writ order; 
  • enter a rental suite with 24-hour notice without the tenant’s consent, as long as they follow health guidelines like physical distancing, cleaning, and wearing masks when appropriate;
  • personally serve documents to tenants; and 
  • restrict access to common spaces for COVID-19 related health reasons.
