Answer: In Ontario, tenant rights and duties are mainly set out in Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, c. 17 and enforced through the Landlord and Tenant Board, which can order repairs, rent abatements, stop unlawful rent changes, and decide eviction applications based on proper notices, evidence, and timelines; Woodcock Legal Services provides Paralegal Services to review your situation, prepare and file the right LTB forms, and advocate for you at hearings with clear, practical guidance aimed at fast, fair outcomes across Ontario.  Call (613) 334-6721 to book a consultation and protect your housing and financial interests.
