Tenant’s rights group labels investor province’s top ‘renovictor’

A rental property investor is being called Ontario’s most prolific “renovictor” as the federal government prepares new Renters Bill of Rights legislation that promises to take action against evictions for renovation.

Michael Klein appears as a director of companies that own at least 21 properties across Ontario where tenants have been sent remarkably similar so-called renoviction letters in recent years according to research conducted by Acorn, an organization with 177,000 members across six provinces representing low and moderate-income families. Among the buildings are 13 where the Acorn is organizing tenants to fight back against what they call bad faith evictions.
