From Treb News 14 January 2021
The province has issued an emergency order to temporarily pause the enforcement of residential evictions during the provincial declaration of emergency and while the stay-at-home-order is in force. This is the second time that the province has paused residential evictions. This emergency order will also protect homeowners who are facing evictions due to court orders for possession of their properties. The Landlord and Tenant Board will continue to hear eviction applications and issue orders, but the enforcement of eviction orders will be postponed for the duration of the emergency order, except in urgent situations – such as for illegal activity. This includes orders issued, but not carried out, before the emergency order came into effect. The residential evictions pause is linked to the provincial declaration of emergency. The government will continue to extend the eviction pause to align with the declaration of emergency. To review the entire provincial announcement, click here
