Renting a home in Ontario comes with legal protections, ensuring fair treatment for tenants. However, navigating landlord-tenant disputes can be challenging without the right knowledge and legal support. At JAS Legal Services, we specialize in providing expert paralegal assistance to help tenants rights in Ontario understand and enforce their rights.
Key Tenant Rights in Ontario
Protection Against Unlawful Eviction Landlords must follow strict legal procedures to evict a tenant. If you are facing an illegal eviction, JAS Legal Services can help you challenge it before the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).
Rent Control and Increases Most rental units in Ontario are subject to rent control, limiting how much landlords can increase rent annually. If your landlord imposes an unfair rent hike, our paralegal team can assess its legality and assist you in filing a dispute.
Maintenance and Repairs Landlords are legally required to maintain rental properties in a safe and livable condition. If your landlord neglects essential repairs, we can guide you through the legal process to enforce your rights.
Privacy and Entry Rights Landlords must provide at least 24 hours’ written notice before entering your rental unit, except in emergencies. If your privacy is being violated, our legal experts can take action on your behalf.
Security Deposit and Rent Deposits In Ontario, landlords can only collect a rent deposit (equal to one month’s rent) but cannot demand additional security deposits. If you suspect unfair charges, our team can help you recover your funds.
