Question & Answer
What happens if there is an eviction order and I do not move?There are things you might be able to do to stop the eviction. But you will need to act quickly.
Once you get the eviction , it's a good idea to get legal advice as soon as possible so you can learn more about your options.
If you have a low income, you can call your local community legal clinic and try to make an appointment to discuss your situation. Be sure to tell the clinic that you have an eviction order against you. Make sure to bring the eviction order, the 's Notice to Vacate, and any other documents about your eviction with you to your appointment.
If you can't get help from a community legal clinic, you can call Pro Bono Ontario's Free Legal Advice Hotline. Or you can contact the Law Society Referral Service for a free 30-minute consultation with a lawyer or licensed paralegal. You can also contact JusticeNet, a non-profit organization that can connect you with a lawyer or licensed paralegal who has agreed to work for reduced fees.
