Selling a Tenanted Property in Ontario — Without the Eviction Headache
You don't need to evict your tenants before selling. We buy tenanted properties directly — and we'll work through whatever the tenancy situation looks like.
What Is Tenanted Property in Ontario?
Landlords who want to sell their Ontario rental properties often face a difficult situation. Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act provides strong protections for tenants — removing a tenant simply in order to sell is not a legal ground for eviction. This means that many landlords who want to sell are effectively stuck: they can list the property, but they have to show it with tenants in place who may be uncooperative, and most retail buyers expect vacant possession at closing.
The process of achieving vacant possession — getting a tenant to leave through mutual agreement, an N11 agreement, or an LTB ruling — can take months and is far from guaranteed. Many landlords find themselves carrying a property they want out of for a year or more while waiting for a tenancy to resolve. If the tenant is cooperative, the process is manageable but still slow. If the tenant is uncooperative, behind on rent, or simply unresponsive, it can become exhausting — months of legal notices, LTB hearings, and uncertainty, all while you're still paying the mortgage on a property you've already decided to sell.
Key Realty removes that entire problem. We buy tenanted properties directly, exactly as they are. We do not require vacant possession at closing. We purchase the property with the tenancy in place and take over as the new owner, managing the tenancy from that point forward. This means you can sell now, on your timeline, without the months of waiting or the legal complexity of ending a tenancy.
You don't need to wait for your tenant to leave, and you don't need to manage a difficult one on your own. We buy tenanted properties with the tenancy in place — or help structure a clean transition — and you close on your schedule either way.
And if your situation is the opposite — a tenant who has already left, or one you'd genuinely prefer to see transitioned out before closing — we can work with that too. Some sellers want the simplest possible exit and are happy to hand off the tenancy as-is. Others have a relationship with their tenant and want a say in how that transition happens. We'll talk through what you want and structure the sale around it, rather than asking you to fit into a single rigid process. Whether your tenant is cooperative, difficult, paying reliably, behind on rent, or completely unresponsive — it doesn't change whether we buy. We make one offer, you decide if it works, and we handle the rest.
