Common Concerns:

Question:What should a landlord or tenant in Ontario do if the other party is disputing rent increases, maintenance, disruptive behaviour, or an eviction notice under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006?

Answer:If you are facing a landlord-tenant dispute in Ontario over rent increases, maintenance responsibilities, disruptive behaviour, or the steps used to terminate a tenancy, start by confirming the dates and written communications, gathering your lease and evidence (photos, receipts, witness details), and then use the correct Landlord and Tenant Board process for applications or responses under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, c. 17.  VP Legal Services & Notary can help you understand the timelines, organize the right particulars, and prepare clear arguments for mediation or a hearing, plus coordinate paralegal and notary services where document certification is needed.  For a practical Ontario-focused next step, call (437) 286-1499 to book a consultation with a paralegal at VP Legal Services & Notary.

Common Residential Housing Disputes Involving Landlords and Tenants
