Tenant Advocacy:

Question: Can a paralegal at Lippa Legal Services help me understand my legal rights and duties as a residential tenant in Ontario if my landlord tries to raise rent, end my tenancy, or enter my unit without proper notice?

Answer:   A paralegal at Lippa Legal Services in Ontario can help you understand key residential tenancy rights and landlord duties, including limits on rent increases, lawful grounds and required notice for termination or eviction, and when a landlord may enter your unit under Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act; if you are facing an N12 eviction, a rent dispute, maintenance or privacy concerns, or an ongoing conflict that seems to be escalating, they can first review the facts, then work with you to negotiate a practical resolution, and if necessary prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at a hearing.
