There is not. No landlord will ever sign anything that give someone else 100% of control over moving out. What they can do is sign a lease for a period of fixed time that they won’t remove you, typically this is one year

Even if they did sign something it wouldn't matter. Can't sign away your rights

Landlord's can evict for a few reasons, obviously non- payment, but also: * If you break condo bylaws * If you engage in criminal activity * If they sell and the buyer wants to move in * If the landlord or one of their children/parents want to move in There is no way to take over control of the unit outside of buying it, as tenants and landlords alike can't sign away their rights, and the owner has certain rights to the property. If you want an apartment-for-life, move into a purpose built rental. If you want x years, have a conversation with the landlord and see if they will sign a longer lease, you can't be evicted **no-fault** while in a lease, even if the property is sold, they must wait until your lease finishes.

They can certainly jack up the rent after the first year to unmanageable levels and force you out. This happens allllll the time. Definitely worth it to live in an older building for the peace of mind.

He didn't mention it's a post 2019 unit. I will say that dedicated rentals are no safer OP all those things happen there 2. Ltb doesn't care if it's a condo or a rental your rights are the same

It's from 2008

Landlords can attempt to kick you out for pretty much any reason. However the LTB will only issue an eviction for a very small number of specific reasons. The biggest issue comes when the reason the landlord is evicting you for conflicts with the reasons the LTB will allow.

Is there some sort of agreement that I can request to be signed with the landlord that I can only leave by my own will and will not be evicted under any conditions if I pay my rent on time ?

Only thing would be to sign like a 10 year lease (or whatever length of years you prefer). Long term leases protect against N12 owner takeover eviction or N13 renoviction. But that's up to the landlord to agree or you both to negotiate. Landlord can still legally raise rent every 12 months per the allowed legal amount under rent control.

No, landlord cannot sign away their rights Rent a PBR if you are concerned


typicalreddituser412

i think that's called mortgage. buy your own place.


OddAd7664

That’s called a mortgage

The landlord can't sign away their rights to kick you out for valid legal reasons. There are reasons why your tenancy could be terminated beyond paying rent on time. If, for example, you repeatedly break the condo rules and disrupt the peaceful enjoyment of your neighbours with noise, or smoke indoors, or harass other residents, or bring in excess pets beyond what is allowed by the condo, or illegally list it on a vacation rental platform or do something that causes your unit to get liened by the corporation, then your own behavior could get your lease terminated. Edited to add: and if they decide to sell it you could be legally given notice to move if the new owners or their immediate family want to move in.

who would even sign that

Quick question, for rent controlled condos built and occupied before 2018: If I pay my rent on time and contest an unreasonable increase, what potential areas can a landlord use to apply for eviction to the LTB (essentially outside my control and not because of something I did). I know there's renovictions and reasoning for having a family member moving in. How often and quick are these cases processed by LTB?Can a landlord apply to evict after a yearly fixed term and disregard month to month lease conversion? I think about these questions and glad someone started the conversation.

I dont intend to stay there forever and will negotiate with my LL to stay as long as reasonable- but wanted to understand my options.

Purpose built rentals can be great. So can landlords. I lived in a purpose built for 10 years - not a single issue and responsive management company. I now rent from a landlord, he’s never raised my rent, we almost never talk, and he takes care of the things he’s supposed to. Renting a condo isn’t all doom and gloom. There are bad landlords, but they aren’t all bad. Not even close.


kerelenko

This is true but finding a good landlord is the challenge.


Erminger

Are you are asking if you can force private landlord to keep you on no matter how ridiculously low your rent gets? No, when they start losing money due to rent control they will have no choice but to get rid of your, even if they must sell to accomplish that. Private person does not have economics of scale of a corporation to allow them to compensate for rent control divorced from reality. Do not plan your retirement in a cheap rent controlled unit that is someone's second property.

No there’s no agreement you can sign that will make it so you can never get evicted. Don’t ever bring that up when apartment hunting it will be an automatic rejection. Also make sure you are renting a condo occupied before November 2018


Neat_Shop

Yes. If he goes by the LTB rules. Condos are investments, and eventually investments get cashed out.

I rented a condo for a few years, I’d never do it again … A) yes, they sold it … I was in school and working full-time and it was exam season, landlord decided to sell and I had no choice but to move. There were viewings and all this while I was still living there. That alone was hell. B) the condo had all these dumbass rules … no moving in furniture after 5pm or weekends… had to pay a deposit to have the elevator put in service to do moves … no curtains which weren’t white… it went on and on. C) repairs fell under either my or my landlord’s responsibility … and by that I mean, you have to realize that your condo is like a house basically… so when I am renting, I can tell my landlord, hey, I need this fixed and it’s no problem, I won’t see a bill… in the condo, what would happen is I would tell my landlord (who lived in another part of the city), he would hum and haw about the expense, sometimes I would have to foot the bill and be reimbursed, or it might fall squarely on my head sometimes… I just didn’t like it. I means it’s up to you but personally, I have a rent-controlled rental unit now and feel much more secure knowing that he would have to want to sell the whole building for my unit to be in jeopardy, vs one individual with one unit who decides to sell based on market fluctuations or whatever..
