residents, visitors, and staff on the property.

Assisting Residents who Hoard
Individuals who hoard typically do not feel that their behavior is problematic and, therefore, may not be motivated to change their lifestyle.
They may express mixed feelings about the assistance being offered, or, refuse it outright. It’s important to know that it’s a long-term and on-going process which will require regular involvement.
While it may be necessary to remove the clutter on the resident’s behalf, the larger goal is to help the resident to learn to make decisions about what to keep and what to discard.

CONSEQUENCES CREATED • It may sometimes be necessary to take a tenant who is hoarding to the
Landlord & Tenant Board • This is usually only necessary if repeated attempts have been unsuccessful in
providing assistance to the resident/to connect them with community services
• Their accommodations should be in such a state as to be considered a threat to their health, safety or that of their neighbors
• There are 2 notices which may apply in the context of hoarding; the Form N5 (Notice to Terminate a Tenancy Early) and the Form N7 (10-Day Notice to Terminate a Tenancy Early)
• Form N5: The Landlord would identify the way in which the tenant is keeping their unit and how it’s infringing upon the “lawful right, privilege, or interest of the landlord or interfering with the enjoyment of another tenant”
• The tenant is given 7 days to make a concerted effort to clean their unit/connect to community-based supports; potentially avoiding the need for further proceedings
• Form N7: This form is used in situations where the tenant has refused to clean their unit or work with staff or community services and their unit is quite unsafe, either due to breaching the fire Code regulations or public health standards. This form implies that the situation is an “emergency”.
• The Possibility of Mediation (negotiate an agreement) can follow and an adjudicator can be appointed if no agreement can be made

Summary • Hoarding is often a difficult issue to address. • It can be difficult to balance the competing interests of the
people involved: 1. The resident-to maintain their apartment and lifestyle as they
wish 2. The building-to ensure that it is able to exercise its lawful rights
& privileges 3. The other tenants whose enjoyment of their homes may be
impacted by the events experienced.
