This is the best summary I could come up with:
A recently-released Statistics Canada study of evicted tenants found that disabled people are overrepresented among recent evictees.
The study, released Friday, also found that no-fault evictions — including an owner moving into the unit, selling the unit, or performing major renovations — are the most common reason for a tenancy to be terminated across the country.
It found that around three per cent of renters had experienced an eviction in the preceding 12 months, which represented one per cent of all Canadians — though the study cautions that the small sample size means statistics about the reason for eviction should be used with caution.
"We have a highly individualistic, consumerist approach to disability," she told CBC News.
"You might not be able to get an accessible shelter space because they don't exist," she said, adding that couch surfing is also often not an option for disabled people.
In addition to the findings around disability and no-fault eviction rates, the Statistics Canada study also found that evictees were more likely to report poor mental health compared to the total population.
