Are you actually riding it or just trying to store it in the yard? Does the landlord live on the premises?

Can't we settle this over a pint?
well, I just bought it and put it there a week ago, still in the process of getting my insurance/plates. Right now there are no plates on it though.
The Landlord lives close by and is lurking around the house
When I had an issue with my landlord in T.O. way back I called a place that gave free advice to tenant's concerning landlord issues. Check your phonebook. Also, get familiar with the Landlord-Tenants Act. You have more rights than you think. I'm just not sure on this situation. He sounds like a real piece of work though.

my impression is that you don't have a strong legal position. Your Landlord sounds like a dick. Its probably not worth the fight, I would look into moving.
However, see my disclaimer below.

Was having a "motorcycle" a breach in lease agreement with your landlord?Originally Posted by gepeto
Since he's month to month I'm guessing he sub-lets and isn't on the agreement. Which puts the onus on the primary renter to tell the landlord to piss off.

I do rent directly from the landlord and in fact there was never been a mention of motorcycles not being parked anywhere.
However it is in the backyard and never been explicitly allowed to use it. (even tough we have a BBQ there and bicycles storaged)
If you could find a place to store it until it is plated/nsured can you get a permit to park in the street? Is there driveway space allowed?

I'm assuming you live in downtown Toronto... It's possible to get an on-street permit for parking if there is no additional parking available for you. In this case it sounds correct since you're in a shared house.
It's not that expensive... $14 / month. http://www.toronto.ca/transportation...index.htm#type
BBQ, bicycles, motorbike. All personal property. If he didn't have an issue with the previous 2 he shouldn't have one with the 3rd. I would definitely tell him to leave your personal property alone.
Found this site. It may help. http://www.ontariotenants.ca/index.phtml

This makes sense, but if he doesn't want you storing stuff on his property, he doesn't have to let you. OP, can you reason with your landlord, and let him know it will be plated soon?

tell your landlord that you belong to the hells angles and not to f with it or you or else. reverse the heat back on him.
Just don't put on a hells Angels jacket with patches and go to McDonald
