Common Concerns:

Question:What should a landlord or tenant in Ontario do if there’s a rent increase, maintenance issue, or disruptive behaviour dispute under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006?

Answer:To address common residential landlord–tenant disputes in Ontario, start by documenting key facts (notices, dates, payment records, photos or videos) and follow the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 process for the specific issue, since landlords generally handle maintenance and tenants must comply with safety and conduct rules. If the dispute involves a rent increase, repairs, interfering with others’ rights or enjoyment, or a termination or lockout concern, Legacy Legal Services can help legal professionals and clients reduce risk and choose the right next step at the Landlord and Tenant Board, where applicable, by reviewing the lease and the evidence and preparing the proper filings or response.   For prompt guidance in Windsor, London, Leamington, Kingsville, Amherstburg and surrounding areas, call (226) 246-3825 and discuss your situation with a paralegal or lawyer-oriented legal support team.

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.
