Harsh.
Periodically I hear from someone that has a problem with a non Landlord & Tenant Board flooding, or an eviction where the Residential Tenancies Act does not apply.
As onerous as the Landlord & Tenant Board is, the procedure is well defined and ends up with the government kicking out the renter. In other evictions, nobody will help you and it is actually difficult in some instances to kick out the person.

Sometimes the Police might have to attend to keep the peace. Police don’t like it either and will often tell folks to visit the Landlord & Tenant Board. The reality is, evictions are tough and not pleasurable. In non RTA situations there is not any requirement for notice or anything. You can change the locksthrow everybody ’s clothes on the road, there are simply no rules.

Of course if the individual agrees, and you can get together, it’s easy. But if the person resists and wants to remain, the situation can get ugly.
As a practical matter, usually the individual throwing the other person out will give them some notice, like 7 days so that they can prepare and physically move themselves without a lot of conflict.

Most people find it very difficult to actually follow through and kick someone out. It’s just hard. Having said that there’s absolutely no choice.
