Amend the Residential Tenancies Act Concerning 7 Day Eviction After Job Loss

The Issue

As individuals impacted by the housing industry, we urge lawmakers to reconsider the 7-day eviction notice period after job loss. This timeframe is often unrealistic to secure new employment, find alternative housing, and relocate, especially in competitive markets. We recommend amending the Residential Tenancies Act to provide a more reasonable notice period, allowing a fair chance for those who work in the housing industry to stabilize their lives. This change would help mitigate the stress and uncertainty and promote more humane and practical outcomes.
