jes sachse, who spells their name using lowercase letters.

If this is symbolic of a commitment to anti-captiolism, mad respect. Sinon, cool name.

The one factor they always neglect to discuss in this housing crisis is that … well, we are in a housing crisis. That means there is a substantial number of these evictions that are actually valid (granted there are also a lot of shit, scumbag landlords). But we all know someone struggling right now for housing. If you’re a boomer with an extra property, you probably also have a kid, or a nephew/niece or other younger person/family who is struggling with housing, and they need a place to stay, and they want to move in to these properties. This will only get worse as housing becomes less affordable.

I’m not saying this is the only reason, but it certainly contributes to the spike we are seeing in overall applications.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Tenants served with N12s face the prospect of eviction through no fault of their own, which can be a stressful experience, says jes sachse, who spells their name using lowercase letters.

Tenant advocates say N12s are a major issue in Toronto, because landlords could use them to drive up the price of their unit and renters have limited options to push back.

With an N12, all a landlord needs to prove is that they, a family member, or caregiver, intends to move in, said Samuel Mason, a lawyer at Parkdale Community Legal Services, who is also representing sachse at the LTB.

That idea doesn’t sit right with Tony Irwin, president of the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario.

Maximum fines are rarely given out by the LTB, Mason said, adding that whenever the law does come into force it won’t make much of a difference.

“That doesn’t address the issue of landlords misusing this type of eviction proceeding because the legal test is so permissive in the first place,” he said.
