Ontario Landlord and Tenant Act and Related Legislation

Canadian Tenant Information

Canadian Tenant Information is a mishmash compilation of articles which desparately needs editing and some organization, but still worth wading through the mess to find the odd gem. Primarily for Ontario tenants, but also has some information for the rest of Canada
Click here The Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal (ORHT) is being openly ridiculed as an "Eviction Machine" which openly sides with landlords. Their site contains pages of information which is worth reviewing, however the process is stacked against tenants, so beware. Tenants are being forced to pay large legal bills to fight landlords' annual rent increase applications. There is no provision to recover costs. Hearsay "evidence" is the norm and untrained people sit as judges on these tribunals. Mike Harris got his for having gutted social services in this province. Let's hope McGinty does something productive.
