Question: What tenant legal rights and landlord duties in Ontario apply to residential tenancies?

Answer: In Ontario residential tenancies, tenant rights and landlord duties are mainly set by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, including rules on maintenance and repairs, rent collection and any rent changes, privacy protection, access and lockout practices, and the required steps and forms to end a tenancy through the Landlord and Tenant Board process.   If you are facing an eviction notice, illegal rent conduct, privacy or harassment concerns, a renovation or demo impacting your tenancy, or a maintenance failure, White Owl Legal can review your situation, explain the relevant obligations, then negotiate with the landlord and, if needed, prepare Landlord and Tenant Board forms and advocate at a hearing.   Call (289) 839-3075 for paralegal help in Ontario and get guidance geared toward practical outcomes for tenants.

Legal Rights and Duties Affecting Residential Tenants

To a tenant, a rental dwelling is home. Of course, home means something unique to everyone and these special feelings are recognized. With this said, White Owl Legal also recognizes that impartial empathy is often necessary to remain focused upon the legal issues and to remain an objective advisor and negotiator. White Owl Legal helps tenants to resolve disputes by first reviewing the facts and issues and then by working to negotiate a resolution with the landlord. If resolution is evasive, White Owl Legal can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.
