Interactive Tool
Canadian Eviction Process Dashboard
An interactive tool to understand and compare tenant protections across Canadian provinces, making differences in eviction processes easier to see, compare, and discuss.
Overview
Comparing eviction processes across Canada
Evictions are a leading cause of housing insecurity, homelessness, and social instability across Canada. Because tenants’ security of tenure is largely shaped by provincial law, renters face an uneven patchwork of protections.
This comparison tool evaluates jurisdictions across 12 key indicators, including notice periods, dispute timelines, hearing and decision processes, order of possession, compensation, rent control, appeals, conditional orders, and deemed renewals. Higher scores indicate stronger tenant protections.

About the Project
Research context and methodology
This interactive tool complements BSH’s 2026 report, Recommendations for Strengthening Canadian Renters’ Security of Tenure, by Sheila Suredja and Dr. Alina McKay.
The report comparatively analyzes provincial eviction frameworks to identify policy gaps and best practices across Canada. Together, the report and interactive tool make complex legal and procedural differences easier to understand for policymakers, advocates, researchers, and tenants.
