Tenants Guide
In this guide, you’ll find a list of commonly asked questions, an overview of your tenant rights, and community resources that can help you find affordable housing or give you legal advice.
If you’re facing an unfair eviction notice, poor living conditions, or a dispute with your landlord, you’re not alone. In Ontario, renters have legal protections from extortion, dangerous living situations, and undue eviction, because housing is a human right. That’s why Ontario needs real rent control, including an end to illegal above guideline rent increases. MPP West is also fighting for accountability from the Landlord and Tenant Board instead of chronic underfunding and unacceptable wait times.
People need support now! The MPP created this guide to help you communicate effectively with your landlord. When everyone is working together, we all win! In this guide, you’ll find a list of commonly asked questions, an overview of your tenant rights, and community resources that can help you find affordable housing or give you legal advice.
