5. Give other reasons why the LTB should not evict you

Even if the (LTB) agrees that your landlord, their family member, or their caregiver wants to move into your place in good faith, the LTB does not have to you.

When the LTB must let you stay

In some cases, the LTB must let you stay. For example, the LTB must refuse to evict you if they find that your landlord:

has seriously failed to follow the law or the agreement,
is trying to evict you because you did something to protect your legal rights or because you are part of a tenant's association, or
is trying to evict you because you have children living with you.

Other things the LTB can consider

The LTB can refuse to evict you because of your personal situation. For example, the LTB might look at if:

you have a mental or physical
you're a single parent
you have supports in the neighbourhood to help you with your medical needs or childcare
you have cultural connections to your neighbourhood
you'll have a hard time finding an affordable place to live
your children are in school and it would be difficult for them to move during the school year

At your hearing, make sure to tell the everything that you want them to think about when deciding whether to evict you.

Delay the eviction

If the LTB does not refuse the eviction, they can give you more time to delay the eviction if:

your landlord agrees, or
it would not be unfair to the landlord or other tenants.
