KEY TAKEAWAYS

Context

Behind every single court order submitted into the Openroom, there exists a story of heartache and headache.

One caught my eye regarding a bad faith eviction where the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) of Ontario declared compensation for the tenants after the Landlord issued an N12 - Notice to Terminate the Tenancy and evict due to Reason #2: Sale of the House, when the house has not been sold at the time of notice's issuance.

Openroom's Stance

Openroom Stance: As of February 2024, Openroom has started to look at bad faith evictions and ways we can protect the Tenant party. Cases where its dismissed or the Adjudicator has declared in favour of the Tenant, Openroom will prevent the Tenant's name from being searchable inside the Openroom Court Order Database.

Caveat

We do not alter the original submitted court order. If someone were to search the address or the Landlord, all names would still appear in the document. In addition, we hold no responsibility for other systems and what they do, but we will aim to do good for our community.
