I have tenants that have turned their 1 bedroom apt into a makeshift 2 bedroom apt. They boarded up the kitchen doorway and put a curtain across the living room area to create privacy. I believe this does not comply with building and property standards. What can I do about this?

We cannot tell you if what they have done is contrary to building and property standards. You have to check with the municipality’s building and property standards department about this. If it is in contravention of any by-laws and/or they have caused damage to the rental property, you would then be within your rights to issue a N5 notice to have them correct the problem and follow eviction process accordingly.
