Ennis is trying to evict the man, 62-year-old James Regan, but it will be November before the Landlord and Tenant Board makes a ruling. Harry Fine, a former adjudicator at Ontario's Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB), said once problem tenants get their hands on the keys, it's easy for them to exploit the system and drag out the eviction process. Harry Fine, right, tells CBC's Marivel Taruc that Ontario's legislation around rentals needs to change to protect landlords from drawn-out eviction proceedings. Otherwise, he said, problem tenants like Regan know they'll get eight more months of free rent. Fine said he's hoping police will consider stepping in more often so problem tenants fear criminal charges.
