Tenants in Ontario are afforded numerous protections under the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) and the law may provide more safeguards than many realize.Chief among those rights is that a tenant cannot be evicted by a landlord – only the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) has the authority to order an eviction in Ontario.One of the common scenarios where a landlord may want to evict a tenant is to sell the home.“The very first and most important point is you don’t actually have to leave,” explains tenant lawyer Dania Majid from the Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario. “You can wait and have a hearing before the landlord and tenant board and have the board ultimately decide that matter.”Majid says that when a tenanted property is purchased, that new owner assumes and takes over all existing leases.“[The purchaser] becomes the new landlord and the relationship will then continue with the new landlord. [The new landlord also assumes] all the right...

Avalanche 2023 offseason: Which lingering free agents can Avs afford with remaining salary cap space?

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 12:16:22 GMT

A franchise with patient and tactful repute around the NHL, the Avalanche energetically participated in the fanfare of unrestricted free agency out of necessity this year. Then Colorado leaned back and got comfortable.The market has dried since early July, but UFAs remain, as does salary cap space at altitude. By reaching a pre-arbitration contract agreement with restricted free agent Ross Colton last week — four years, $4 million average annual value — the Avs arrived one step closer to a finalized 2023-24 payroll.They have $90.3 million to work with, exceeding the cap by up to Gabriel Landeskog’s $7 million thanks to the advance knowledge (as opposed to last time) that he’ll miss the entire season. With Colton’s deal inked, approximately $2.8 million remains to fill three active roster spots. One of those spots will belong to prospective fourth-line center Ben Meyers, an RFA (not arbitration-eligible) who’s still without a new contract. One spot will likely...

In the midst of Thursday’s continuous waves of thunderstorms, a rare, high-elevation tornado touched down on the northern slopes of Pikes Peak.On Friday, the National Weather Service Pueblo survey team rated the tornado an EF1 based on preliminary looks at the damage, the same as the one that touched down in Highlands Ranch last month.“Tornadoes in the mountains are rare in general, but not unheard of,” said Cameron Simcoe, a National Weather Service meteorologist who conducted the damage survey after the storm. “Tornadoes are very fickle, without the right conditions they just won’t develop and it’s much harder to get those ingredients from mountainous terrain.”According to the National Weather Service, the key atmospheric conditions that lead to tornadoes are instability — warm, moist air near the ground and cool, dry air up high — and wind sheer, two ingredients found in supercell thunderstorms.Mountainous areas typically have coole...
