Common Concerns:

Question: How can a tenant respond to an illegal rent increase or improper notice under Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act, 2006?

Answer: A paralegal at Case in Point Paralegal Services can help you review the notice, confirm whether the landlord followed the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 process and timelines, and prepare a clear submission for the Landlord and Tenant Board if the increase or paperwork is improper.  You’ll typically need the rent increase details, your lease or most recent rent record, and proof of any service or payment issues so the next steps are targeted and efficient.  For a practical intake and next-step plan, call (519) 318-7843 and avoid delays that can hurt your position.

Common Residential Housing Disputes Involving Landlords and Tenants

A healthy relationship between landlords and tenants requires an understanding of key legal obligations and rights as established by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, Chapter 17, so as to avoid, or minimize conflict, arising from common dispute issues and concerns involving rent increases, maintenance responsibilities, disruptive behaviour, and the procedures for properly terminating occupancy.  Both landlords as well as tenants must be aware of the respective rights and duties to maintain a harmonious rental relationship.
