The province has laid out details about its framework to help renters repay missed rent during the pandemic.
The evictions ban for non-payment will be lifted on Sept. 1. The framework will take place as soon as the ban on evictions is lifted. It requires that landlords give their tenants until July of 2021 to repay any outstanding rent, as long as monthly instalments are paid.
Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing commented on the matter saying, “These changes will build on the extension of our Temporary Rent Supplement program and give renters until next summer to gradually pay back any unpaid rent to help them maintain their housing, while also continuing the ban on rent increases until December.”
This repayment framework is designed that the first time a renter will have to pay their full amount will be Oct. 1. The framework can be broken down as such, if the renter still owes $2,000 then they will be expected to pay $200 a month from the start date.
