Thankfully, this kind of bullsh1t doesn't fly in Manitoba.
While I do live in a different province, I imagine 'some' things are similar between the two. In Manitoba, you have to give 90 days notice before the expiration of a lease, of a rental increase. That increase can't be more than a certain amount (does not apply to Alberta. No rent protection). Also, here, you are required to give the tenant another lease that has no changes of conditions (i.e. removing access to storage closets, revoking laundry access etc.) on it with the same 90 day period. You can't just unilaterally change someone to a month-to-month scenario.
The conditions for terminating the lease at the end of the lease period, I believe, is similar to Alberta; if you or a relative are moving in OR if you are selling the property OR major renovations that require a vacant property.
I do also seem to recall that, in Alberta, if you jack the rent up crazy high to compel a tenant to leave then, you need to prove that the next tenant you do get is paying that price. I could be wrong though.
