So the tenant requested a showdown meeting, the condo board said no. We have hand delivered a landlord eviction notice to the unit front door this morning. According to RTDRS while condo board has to give 30 days notice, the landlord only has to give 14 days notice. The final eviction deadline date is now set at Oct 2.
Another thing I have learned is that if the condo board decides to file a court order to force the tenant out, they have to go through the Court of Queen's Bench, which will result in upwards of $1,000 in legal fees. If the landlord is filing, we can go through RTDRS and it is only a $75 application fee. And the wait of getting a hearing is about 2 months.
Many of you guys mention about sweetening the deal and provide incentives for the tenants to leave. The problem is that they do not want to leave. I don't think anything short of paying a couple months rent for their new place will do it.
Anyways, let's see what happens now. Hopefully this thing can end peacefully and without any further incidents...

Definitely don't offer a few months rent to get them out. I'm pretty sure that's not what the others are Truly suggesting. A few hundred bucks to chip in for the U-Haul, sure, but nothing more.
I think it's really showing that your hands are tied, but you're being reasonable. Either way, something is coming down the pipe. The tenant decides to either take the small bit of honey plus damage deposit if he leaves peacefully right away, or hint risk losing the damage deposit and deal with all the extra mess (ie: Take him to small claims) if he wants to cause more incidents.
