According to the York South-Weston Tenant Union, Toronto brothers Olliver and Carl received an eviction order last year without a hearing or warning. Some of the proposals include shortening eviction processes for rent arrears and reducing compensation for renters being evicted. "Bill 60 would have put me and my brother on the streets over one penny we didn't even know that we owed. "There isn't a doubt in my mind that Bill 60 is going to lead to more people living in tents," said Chiara Padovani, co-chair of the York South-Weston Tenant Union. Bill 60 proposes changes to the Residential Tenancies Act that would make it easier to evict renters, and cut the financial compensation renters get when they are evicted," Chow wrote.
