Question: What legal rights and duties do I have as a residential tenant in Ontario if I’m in a dispute with my landlord?

Answer: Alfred Legal Services provides Affordable Legal Help for Ontario tenants by reviewing your facts, explaining your rights and obligations under Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, SO 2006, c 17, negotiating with your landlord, and preparing Landlord and Tenant Board forms when needed.  If settlement isn’t possible, Alfred Legal Services can help you present your case at a Landlord and Tenant Board hearing to seek a practical resolution.

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, Alfred Legal Services also recognizes that impartial empathy is often necessary to remain focused upon the legal issues and to remain an objective advisor and negotiator. Alfred Legal Services 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, Alfred Legal Services can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.
