Can a tenant be evicted if the landlord sells the house or building and the person who bought it wants to move in?
Yes, but only if the building has 1-3 units and the person buying the building needs the rental unit for:
- their own use
- the use of an immediate family member
- the use of a person who will provide care services to the landlord or a member of the landlord's immediate family, who is living in the same building or complex
Once the landlord gives the tenant a notice terminating the tenancy for one of these reasons, they can apply to the LTB for an order evicting the tenant. The tenant can only be evicted if the LTB issues an eviction order.
