Topic: Canadian LANDLORD LAW.

One of Troy Larken's RoomMates is a RAT and a GOOF! He thinks he can complain to the landlord about me living with my boyfriend, but THE LAW CLEARLY STATES THAT THE LANDLORD HAS NO SAY OVER WHAT GUESTS A TENANT HAS LIVING WITH THEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO ROMANTIC PARTNERS. A TENANT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO EVEN TELL THE LANDLORD THAT THEY MOVED SOMEBODY IN WITH THEM. THE LANDLORD IS NOW TRYING TO TELL ME I CAN'T LIVE WITH MY BOYFRIEND/FIANCEE, BUT THE LAW IS NOT ON THEIR SIDE, AND WE WILL FIGHT TROY'S LANDLORD IN COURT IF WE HAVE TO!! WHERE HE GOES, I GO, BECAUSE WE ARE AN IN-SEPERABLE UNIT."Is a landlord allowed to restrict, prohibit, or impose rules (visiting hours, number of visitors, increase rent charges etc.) on who a tenant allows to visit, stay long or short term, move in with as spouses, move in with as romantic partner, move in with just to share expenses? Subject to a few exceptions (social housing)---the answer is a simple "NO".
The fact is that a tenant may have guests, short or long term. The tenant may have as many roommates as he or she pleases, romantic partners, visitors, etc. etc. etc.. The tenant does NOT have to obtain the landlords permission or approval for this and in fact the tenant does not even have to let the landlord know that someone has moved in. The landlord does not have the right to interfere with the tenant with respect to the tenant's guests."
"The take away from this article should be that tenants in Ontario have a virtually unrestricted right to have people move in, visit, and stay with them in their rental units. A landlord who tries to restrict that, limit that, charge for it, or impose rules on it--such as visiting hours, will likely be violating the tenants rights and hence could be subject to financial orders and possibly fines if the tenant complains and files an application with the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board."

Here's a solution Cryin Ryan. Move her to your place!
Oh, you got kicked out already? Can't say I'm surprised.
