Bailiffs are the only legal entities in Ontario authorized to seize the goods and assets of a third party to secure collateral registered within the Ontario Personal Property Security Registration system and act on behalf of commercial landlords whose tenants have breached their lease agreements.
Additionally, the Bailiffs Act, R.S.O. 1990, dictates that only an appointed bailiff or their assistant bailiff may act on behalf of a creditor or commercial landlord in the process of seizing and liquidating the goods of a debtor. There are a significant range of rules and procedures that must be adhered to in the process of seizure and liquidation of a debtor’s property.
Currently in Ontario, there are a number of individuals that claim to be Bailiffs. The actions of these individuals have brought negative attention and discredit to Bailiffs across Ontario.
It can be very difficult for the general public to locate and contact appropriate authorities to determine the authenticity of a person and whether they hold an appointment under the Act. The risks to either a creditor or landlord in using a person who is not a Bailiff are immense, in that either party could be dragged into a serious legal battle by a tenant or debtor in the event that the action taken is challenged by an angry party.
The action taken will ultimately be determined illegal by a Court of Law, with the creditor or landlord being held liable for damages. When hiring a Bailiff always refer to:

The use of any person other than a Bailiff appointed under the Act would render the repossession, distress or eviction illegal. Anyone acting on their own without lawful authority may face civil action and prosecution under the provisions of the Provincial Offences Act. An agent on behalf of a creditor may, however, assist an appointed Bailiff in the repossession, distress or termination, so long as the appointed Bailiff is in attendance.
