Ontario’s Bill 60, the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act (2025), introduces several changes to landlord-tenant processes. These include:
• Unpaid rent notices shortened to 7 days (from 15)
• Personal-use evictions now require 120 days’ notice, with compensation no longer mandatory
• Appeal windows reduced to 15 days
• Adjustments to fixed-term lease renewals
For investors, these changes mean more predictable workflows and potentially fewer procedural delays. For homeowners considering renting out existing properties, the reduced notice periods and simplified personal-use eviction rules may remove barriers that previously discouraged them.
Realtors can use this update to support discussions with clients debating whether to sell or rent—especially in a market where months of inventory are rising and some owners are evaluating different exit strategies.
