How We Help

Enforcing tenant protections the Board recognises.

A well-documented complaint carries far more weight than a verbal one. We build the record, choose the right application, and present it clearly at the hearing.

Illegal Entry & Privacy

Notice requirements, lock changes and repeated entries that interfere with reasonable enjoyment.

Maintenance & Repairs

T6 applications for outstanding repairs, pest issues, heat and vital services, with abatement claims.

Harassment & Interference

T2 applications where a landlord's conduct substantially interferes with your tenancy.

Illegal Charges & Deposits

Recovering illegal fees, unlawful rent increases and deposits held contrary to the Act.

Bad-Faith Evictions

T5 applications where an N12 or N13 was served in bad faith and the unit was not used as claimed.

Eviction Defence

Full representation where a landlord has applied to terminate your tenancy.

Common Questions

Answers before you commit.

Still have questions? Call (437) 755-5816 for a free consultation.

Can my landlord enter my unit without notice?+

Except in an emergency or where you consent, a landlord must give 24 hours' written notice stating the reason and a time between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Repeated illegal entry can support a T2 application for interference with reasonable enjoyment.

My landlord will not make repairs. What can I do?+

Landlords must maintain a rental unit in a good state of repair regardless of who caused the issue. After written requests go unanswered, a T6 application asks the Board for a rent abatement, repair orders and, in some cases, costs.

I was evicted for the landlord's personal use and it was not genuine.+

If a landlord served an N12 or N13 in bad faith, a former tenant may file a T5 application within one year of moving out. Remedies can include the rent difference, moving costs and an administrative fine.
