Common Concerns:

Question: What should a landlord in Ontario do first if a tenant is refusing to follow the lease or is causing disruptive behaviour?

Answer: In Ontario, you can reduce risk and move faster by documenting the behaviour, keeping records of notices and communications, and only taking lawful steps under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, c. 17; for enforcement, Mole Legal Services can help landlords and tenants understand the right process at the Landlord and Tenant Board, including when to file an application instead of trying informal pressure, and how to frame the facts and remedies you are seeking with a paralegal-led approach to property management disputes.  If you need practical next steps tailored to your situation, call (647) 709-5157 to book an initial consultation with Carol at Mole Legal Services.

Common Residential Housing Disputes Involving Landlords and Tenants

A healthy relationship between landlords and tenants requires an understanding of key legal obligations and rights as established by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, Chapter 17, so as to avoid, or minimize conflict, arising from common dispute issues and concerns involving rent increases, maintenance responsibilities, disruptive behaviour, and the procedures for properly terminating occupancy.  Both landlords as well as tenants must be aware of the respective rights and duties to maintain a harmonious rental relationship.
