It is not actually a question of them being valid. It is whether the person being evicted could qualify under the tenant in situ scheme with regard to moving that on.

I know it is not a legislative requirement, but does the RTB have informal mechanisms to deal with people it knows are at risk of homelessness? Does it leave it to the person to deal with that or is there a mechanism, for example, to begin the process where that person might qualify under the tenant in situscheme? Is that something that comes up?
