A business in Toronto's east end is asking the courts to prevent their eviction as landowners look to lease the land to Metrolinx as part of the Ontario Line.

Access Self Storage has been operating on Beth Nealson Drive, near Eglinton Avenue and Don Mills Road, since 2014. A previous storage company operated on the land since 1980, with a lease set to expire in December 2021.

A series of meetings with HONI and IO occurred over the years and it was ultimately decided that a new licence agreement would take effect on Jan. 1, 2022. According to the injunction, the lease would be extended for an initial five years, with three successive renewals for a possible 20-year term.

One year later they were notified by letter that they had to vacate the property as of December 2021. “We understand this will be a change for this business and its customers, which is why we have been flexible in extending their occupancy however, the land is now needed for the Ontario Line to move forward,”a spokesperson for Hydro One told CTV News Toronto in a statement.
