Residential tenancies in Ontario are governed by the Residential Tenancies Act and adjudicated by the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB). Tenancies do not end except through proper notice (specific forms with specific timing) or mutual agreement. Even after a notice, the landlord cannot evict without an LTB order. Self-help eviction (changing locks, removing belongings, cutting utilities) is illegal and exposes the landlord to substantial damages.
