Tenant Services:

Question: What legal rights and duties do Ontario residential tenants have if their landlord enters the unit, reduces services, or tries to evict them?

Answer:   Caruso Legal Services can help Ontario residential tenants understand their rights and duties under the Residential Tenancies Act, and then respond strategically by reviewing the facts, explaining next steps, negotiating where possible, and preparing the required Landlord and Tenant Board forms if a dispute can’t be resolved.  If a landlord uses an improper process for eviction or takes action that interferes with reasonable enjoyment, tenants may have options to stop or address the issue through the Landlord Tenant Board, including responding to notices and presenting evidence at a hearing.  If you are dealing with an entry issue, maintenance or service concerns, rent collection disputes, or eviction next steps, contact Caruso Legal Services at (289) 271-0488 to get clear guidance for your situation.
