Tenant · Scarborough · Closed April 2026
What happened
Two weeks after a rent dispute, she came home to find the locks changed and her belongings in garbage bags on the lawn.
What we did
We filed an urgent T2 the next morning and asked the LTB to order her back in, with compensation for hotel, storage and damaged property.
Result: Ordered back into the unit within 10 days and awarded $4,200 in compensation.
The law: Only the Sheriff can carry out an eviction, and only with an LTB order. A landlord who locks a tenant out without one is breaking the law.
Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results. The amount recovered and other outcomes vary with the facts of each case.
