Question: What are my legal rights and responsibilities as a residential tenant in Ontario, and who can help me if my landlord is acting unfairly?

Answer: Vagans Legal, a Paralegal service, can help Ontario residential tenants understand legal rights and duties under the Residential Tenancies system, gather evidence, and negotiate with a landlord to resolve issues like illegal rent changes, privacy and harassment concerns, maintenance problems, and eviction disputes before matters escalate to Landlord and Tenant Board proceedings; if negotiation fails, Vagans Legal can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and represent you at hearings across Ontario, including Toronto and surrounding communities, then guide you on next steps to avoid delays by calling (416) 473-8472.

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, Vagans Legal also recognizes that impartial empathy is often necessary to remain focused upon the legal issues and to remain an objective advisor and negotiator. Vagans Legal 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, Vagans Legal can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.
