I am a student going to university and am renting a house in Oshawa, ON. Yesterday, something that I could not believe happened. Basically, my retarded landlord kicked out two of my roommates for absolutely no reason even though they have a signed lease and have paid for the remainder of the month. The police came and forced them to pack their stuff at 11pm leaving them with no place to live.
I was shocked beyond belief. They have done NOTHING wrong except seek their rights (various little arguments about common area items that are listed on the lease but the landlord failed to take care of). Now on the lease, it says neither party shall terminate the lease with no reason without giving 60 days notice, but apperantly the police officers said we are not protected under the tenancy act because there are shared common living areas. That makes no sense at all, especially with no notice and a legally binding document.
What can be done and how to best approach it? Thank you VERY much!

Well to answer the question, yes you are protected and law enforcement is wrong in this case.

Obviously something is missing from this story.The police will not help a landlord evict a tenant without proper procedure regardless of where they live.

The contract of lease protects the rights of the tenant.
