Policy
In October 2025, Minister Rob Flack tabled Bill 60, titled the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act. The bill included a launch of consultations to remove tenant protections for renters in Ontario.[2] The consultations were aimed at revoking the right of renters to remain in their rental unit at the conclusion of a one-year lease, a significant change to the Residential Tenancies Act designed to make evictions easier.[3]
