Retaliatory Notice

A landlord can not evict a tenant in retaliation and nor should they want to.

Retaliatory notice is when a landlord issues a notice to vacate, in retaliation for the tenant trying to enforce their rights, and it's unlawful.

​

These rights could be anything found in any act but are more often covered by the Residential Tenancies Act.

​

The penalties for retaliatory notice are pretty steep, at up to $6,500.

Retaliatory notice isn't just unlawful, it's also disruptive to the landlord's cashflow and seldom solves any problems.
