The Ontario Eviction Process, Start to Finish

Kenneth explains the sequence in plain language so you can identify exactly where your situation sits today.

High-Level Takeaways

Serving a notice is not the same as ending a tenancy

  • A notice is a notice. It does not end a tenancy and it does not remove anyone.

  • Timing controls everything — filing too early is one of the most common and most expensive errors.

  • The hearing is an evidence exercise, not a conversation about fairness.

  • Only the Sheriff enforces an eviction order. Self-help removals are unlawful in Ontario.
