Tenant Services: Including Advocacy Assistance Within Landlord-Tenant Board Proceedings
Question: What are my rights if my landlord enters my apartment without permission?
Answer: As a tenant in Canada, your right to privacy is protected, and a landlord typically requires notice to enter your rental unit unless it’s an emergency. According to the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, c. 17, unless there’s an urgent situation, landlords must provide at least 24-hour written notice specifying the intention and time of entry. If your landlord violates your privacy, you have the right to address this issue, possibly through mediation or a legal hearing. DK Legal Practice can guide you through resolving such tenant disputes, ensuring your rights are upheld.
Legal Rights and Duties Affecting Residential Tenants
Your home is where your heart is and where your most special memories are made. Of course, home always means something uniquely special to everyone. DK Legal Practice recognizes the importance of your home while also appreciating that a legal services provider must maintain impartial empathy and remain focused as an objective advisor and negotiator. DK Legal Practice 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, DK Legal Practice can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.
