That's the one good thing about Ontario's renting laws, after a
fixed term lease (normally 1 year) has expired the rental
automatically goes to a month-to-month basis - and all increases
have to be within the guidelines.

The landlord/ or their family has to be going to live in the
property or selling it and the purchaser living in the property
for at least 12 months, to get the tenant out (or the tenant
hasn't paid the rent / damaged property ) - and it has to be
done legally, through the Landlord and Tenant Tribunal.

It's the same in BC more or less. Any fixed term lease in BC
automatically goes to month to month and landlords can only
evict for very specific reasons such as landlords use.
