2. Look at the purchaser’s declaration

When the landlord applies to you, they must show the (LTB) an agreement of purchase and sale that's been signed by both the landlord and the buyer. The buyer is also called the “purchaser”.

Your landlord must also give the LTB a or from the person who wants to move into your rental unit. This person can be the buyer, their family member, or a caregiver.

A declaration is a signed written statement. An affidavit is a written statement that must be signed in front of a lawyer, paralegal, or notary public.

The statement should include the legal name of the person and state that they plan to move into your place.

Getting the purchaser’s declaration

The LTB should send you a copy of the statement along with the landlord's and your Notice of Hearing.

If you do not receive a copy of these documents, you can ask the LTB to send you a copy. Or, if you have a low income, you can call your local community legal clinic to see if they can help you.

Who can move in

The person who wants to move in must be one of the following:

the buyer
the buyer's spouse, parent, or child
the buyer's parent-in-law or stepchild
a caregiver for any of the above people

If the person who wants to move in is not one of the people listed above, your landlord does not have a legal reason to evict you.

At the hearing, you generally have the right to question the person who signed the declaration. Ask your landlord in writing to bring that person to the hearing.

If you're worried the person will not show up, you can ask the LTB to them. This means that the person must come to the hearing to answer questions. You do this by sending a form called a Request for the LTB to Issue a Summons.
