The Delicate Balance of Landlord and Tenant Relationships
Residential lease agreements create ongoing legal obligations for both landlords and tenants. When disputes arise over unpaid rent, maintenance responsibilities, lease terminations, illegal evictions, or other tenancy issues, tensions can escalate quickly. Understanding your rights and obligations under Ontario’s residential tenancy laws is essential before taking formal legal action.
