Including Advocacy Assistance Within Landlord-Tenant Board Proceedings
Last Updated: August 24 2026
Question: What tenant legal rights and duties in Ontario can affect my residential tenancy?
Answer: In Ontario, residential tenants typically have enforceable rights and duties involving rent, maintenance, privacy, safety, and lawful termination processes, and those issues often determine which Landlord and Tenant Board forms or hearing steps are needed. If your landlord is refusing repairs, changing rent improperly, collecting rent unlawfully, breaching your privacy (like photographing occupied spaces without proper grounds), issuing a renoviction without following required steps, or moving to evict you for rent arrears, Success.Legal™ helps you review the facts, organize the relevant timeline, and work toward a negotiated resolution, and if that fails it can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and support your case for a hearing in Ontario. For help getting clear on your options and next steps, call (800) 551-5751.
