Question: What rights and duties do Ontario residential tenants have when a landlord wants to enter their unit for repairs or inspections?

Answer:   Freed Legal Services can help Ontario residential tenants understand the legal limits on a landlord’s right of entry, what notice (if any) is required, and what to do if entry is refused or used improperly, including how the facts affect Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) options and dispute strategy.  If you are dealing with an N12, rent collection issues, a renovation-related eviction, illegal rent increases, privacy concerns, or a stopping-eviction payment deadline, a paralegal from Freed Legal Services can review documents, explain likely outcomes at the LTB, and prepare the required forms or negotiating position.   Call (800) 716-1897 to discuss your situation and get next steps for your tenant rights in Ontario.

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, Freed Legal Services also recognizes that impartial empathy is often necessary to remain focused upon the legal issues and to remain an objective advisor and negotiator. Freed Legal Services 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, Freed Legal Services can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.
