Tenant Services: Including Advocacy Assistance Within Landlord-Tenant Board Proceedings
Question: What should a tenant do if a landlord fails to maintain their rental property in Ontario?
Answer: If a landlord fails to keep a rental unit in good repair as required by Ontario law, tenants can file a T6 Application with the Landlord Tenant Board to address the maintenance issues. Before taking this step, tenants may find it beneficial to try negotiating directly with their landlord to resolve the problem. For more complex situations, Kush Legal Services offers support in reviewing the facts, negotiating resolutions, and advocating at Landlord Tenant Board hearings, ensuring your tenant rights are protected.
Legal Rights and Duties Affecting Residential Tenants
To a tenant, a rental dwelling is home. Of course, home means something unique to everyone and these special feelings are recognized. With this said, Kush Law also recognizes that impartial empathy is often necessary to remain focused upon the legal issues and to remain an objective advisor and negotiator. Kush Law helps tenants to resolve disputes by first reviewing the facts and issues and then by working to negotiate a resolution with the landlord. If resolution is evasive, Kush Law can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.
