Question: What tenant rights and duties apply if my landlord tries to change the rent or end my tenancy in Ontario?

Answer: In Ontario, residential tenants have specific rights and duties under the Residential Tenancies Act that affect rent changes, eviction notices, and ongoing obligations like paying rent and maintaining the unit. If a landlord is raising rent improperly or using an eviction process to end your tenancy, you can protect your position by gathering your lease, payment records, and the notice you received, then seeking a clear next step on whether the change or eviction is legally valid. Forseti Legal Services helps tenants resolve disputes by reviewing the facts first, then negotiating with the landlord if possible, and preparing the required Landlord and Tenant Board forms and advocating at hearings when needed.

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, Forseti 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. Forseti 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, Forseti Legal Services can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.
