When a low-income senior lives in the rental unit
A landlord cannot repossess a tenant’s home if the tenant, or his or her partner, meets these 3 conditions:
- is 70 years old or over,
- has lived in the rental unit for 10 years or more,
- has an annual income that qualifies them for low-rental housing (HLM).
But the landlord can repossess a senior’s home in some cases. For example, a landlord who is 70 years old or over can repossess an apartment to live in it even if the tenant meets all the above conditions.
