Ontario tribunal rules 91-year-old's eviction notice defective in case affecting 30+ tenants

Sylvia Berk, 91, won her eviction case at the Landlord and Tenant Board after the tribunal ruled the notice defective; her case has become precedent for over 30 other tenants at the I.L. Peretz House who faced similar rent increases of more than 50 percent from a nonprofit senior housing building in Windsor, Ontario.

The ruling applies to the eviction notice's form; broader disputes over rent increases remain ongoing.
