Tenant Services:
Including Advocacy Assistance Within Landlord-Tenant Board Proceedings
Last Updated: August 22 2026
Question: What tenant legal rights and duties apply in Ontario if my landlord is ignoring repairs?
Answer: 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.

NOTE: A significant amount of online searches that include “lawyers near me” or “best lawyer in” typically indicate a pressing requirement for competent legal assistance instead of a particular job title. In Ontario, licensed paralegals are governed by the same Law Society that regulates lawyers and have the authority to represent clients in specific litigation issues. Advocacy, legal evaluation, and procedural proficiency are fundamental aspects of this role.
