Can I Be Removed From the House I Live In if My Parent Dies Owning It in Ontario?

Possibly, but not automatically. When your parent dies, the house vests in the estate trustee, who holds it as trustee for the people entitled to it. The house is also available to pay the estate's debts, costs and expenses.

An estate trustee can generally sell estate real property without the beneficiaries agreeing, except where the sale is only for the purpose of distribution, which needs approval of a majority of the beneficiaries. If you pay rent, you may be a tenant. The estate trustee steps into the landlord's role, and a tenancy can be ended only in the ways the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 allows. A landlord who in good faith needs the unit for at least one year of residential occupation by themselves, a spouse, a child or parent of either, or a qualifying care provider may give notice, but whether an estate trustee can rely on this depends on the facts.

If your parent transferred the house into joint names with you as a capable adult child for no payment, the court presumes you hold it for the estate unless you prove a gift was intended. Because the answer turns on your situation, speak with a lawyer early.
