What tenant legal rights and duties apply in Ontario if my landlord is ignoring repairs?
In Ontario, residential tenants generally have the right to request timely repairs and safe, habitable living conditions, while landlords must maintain the unit and common areas in good repair and tenants must follow the tenancy and access rules set out in the lease and Landlord and Tenant Board process; if repairs are ignored, you can document issues, request entry properly, and file the appropriate Board application, and if matters escalate, Paladin LLP can review your situation, prepare Landlord Tenant Board forms, and advocate at a hearing when negotiation fails.

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