Landlord fined $75,000 for evicting tenants in bad faith — money it can recoup in less than a year from higher rents
In 2014, the building was sold for $1.5 million to 795 College Inc. Despite the evidence, Whitmore wrote, rental housing law doesn’t equip him with the power to get the tenants back their homes, whether empty or full. Whitmore ordered 795 College Inc. to pay $75,000 to the board by April. The landlord for 795 College would qualify but has not applied, city staff confirmed. Ontario’s Rental Housing Enforcement Unit has charged 795 College Inc. with three counts of Failing to Afford a Tenant a Right of First Refusal.
