Can a tenant get kicked out? What, if any, circumstances could make this happen? Discuss this with a partner.

Does this picture look familiar? What's the story behind it? Is the cartoon funny, and if so, why?

Here are your tasks:

1. Reading: Fighting an Eviction
1. Find 3 or more interesting/surprising facts and list them in your own words on your blog.
2. Comment on your classmates' discoveries on their blogs.
2. Role play: Eviction Notice
1. Identify phrases that are most useful and could be used in other situations, and practise them more, aloud.
2. With a partner create a chirbit on eviction or record another conversation based on your useful phrases.
3. Write an email to your telephone company about a late payment. If you have the time, try writing a warning letter from a telephone company to a delinquent subscriber.

There are quite a few facts that are interesting to me :

1, A landlord needs to apply to a Landlord and Tenant Board if a tenant refuses to move out.
2, A tenant can stop application of eviction by paying the full amount of what the landlord say he owes plus $170 fee and charges for bounced cheques.
3. A tenant has 72 hours to take his belongs, this rule applies over a weekend or a holiday.
