That’s fine. The landlords still have the power to increase rent to astronomical levels in order for force unwanted tenants out.
If you can’t evict them, you can make it so they can’t afford to live there.
For older units, Ontario (in Canada) enforces a very low rent raise cap, probably specifically for this reason.
(Alas, for newer units, the conservative government lifted this, so if one rents a newer unit in Ontario (say built after 2018) then one can still be kicked out by this loophole.)
