驱逐租户后，收取未付的租金和损失
Collecting unpaid rent after eviction can be one of the most challenging tasks for landlords. It often involves detailed documentation, legal filings, and time-consuming procedures under Ontario’s rental law. At Juzkiw Law Firm, our Landlord and Tenant lawyers can help you navigate these complex processes efficiently.
Can a Landlord Sue a Tenant for Unpaid Rent?
Yes! A landlord can sue a tenant for unpaid rent after eviction if a valid lease agreement was signed and the tenant failed to meet their payment obligations. Legal action can help recover missed rent payments and additional costs resulting from the tenant’s non-compliance.
Can a Landlord Sue a Tenant for Property Damages?
Absolutely. A landlord may sue a tenant for damages caused to the rental property. In many cases, the security deposit is used to cover minor damages. However, if the cost of repairs exceeds the deposit, landlords can file a claim in Small Claims Court to recover the remaining balance.
To support your claim, it’s crucial to have:
- Photographs of the property before and after tenancy
- Repair estimates or invoices
- Lease agreements and inspection reports
- Proof that the tenant was responsible for the damage
Landlords should file a lawsuit as soon as possible — ideally within 30 days of the tenant moving out — to ensure timely recovery.
