Vacate Notice to Non-Tenants

There might be occasions when other people besides the tenant are living at the property and you no longer wish them to be there. The other people may either be living with the tenant or living there after the tenant has abandoned the property.

To deal with these situations, the Residential Tenancies Act allows you to issue a Notice to Vacate to evict people other than tenants. You can also request a court to issue an order for possession of premises. A Notice to Vacate can be used in two situations:

  • where a tenant has abandoned rented premises and another person who was not a tenant continues to live in the property, or

  • where another person is living with the tenant.

You can also apply to court for an order of possession if the Notice to Vacate is not complied with. (see sidebar links)

  • Notice to person living with tenant

  • Notice to Vacate where a person is living in premises after tenant abandoned property

  • An Order to Recover Possession
