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.
