Question:What tenant rights and duties affect a residential lease in Ontario when my landlord is threatening an eviction or refusing maintenance?

Answer:In Ontario, your rights and duties in a residential tenancy are mostly governed by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, including landlord maintenance obligations, lawful rent collection and notice requirements, and the process for any eviction at the Landlord and Tenant Board, while you still must pay rent, comply with the lease, and avoid causing unreasonable damage or interference.   If you are facing an eviction threat or ongoing repair issues, Gutoski Legal Services can review the facts, identify the strongest tenant claims or defences, attempt a negotiated resolution, and if needed prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at the hearing.   Book help with (289) 902-0227 in Hamilton and across Ontario.
