Hamilton’s renoviction bylaw begins January 1st

Hamilton’s renoviction bylaw will soon come into effect, requiring landlords to apply to the city before issuing any kind of repair-based eviction notices.

However, for some renters in the city’s core, it may be too late.

It’s a measure aimed at preventing bad faith evictions that comes into effect on January 1.

Uncertainty about whether it will apply to ongoing tenancy disputes, has left the remaining residents of the Mountain View apartment complex anxiously awaiting the new year.
