Advocates Warn: Ontario Housing Proposal Ends Rent Control, Indefinite Leases

Ontario's proposed housing bill aims to speed up home construction but includes changes that could weaken tenant protections, such as new lease expiry rules and reduced rent control. Advocates warn these changes may lead to easier evictions, especially affecting vulnerable renters like seniors and students. Critics argue the bill favors landlords, risking increased displacement and loss of affordable housing for many tenants.
