Member call no. 35: What you can do about tenants subletting
David is an experienced committee member in a self-managed building. For some time, the building has struggled with noisy tenants, who also sublet on a short-term basis. I help David ensure the committee is following the correct enforcement procedures, including what to expect before the Tribunal. We also discuss a short-term letting by-law, including suggested clauses to help prevent tenants from subletting.
