Loopholes Tagged "tenant rights"

Plain-English guides to Canadian legal rights and workarounds related to tenant rights.

Eviction Notice Dispute — You Don't Have to Leave Just Because You Got a Notice

An eviction notice in Canada is not an eviction order — you have the right to dispute it at your province's residential tenancy tribunal, and the landlord must prove their case.

Landlord Entry Notice — Your Landlord Must Give 24 Hours Notice Before Entering

Every Canadian province requires landlords to give written notice (typically 24 hours) before entering a rental unit, and you have the right to refuse entry outside permitted hours.

Rent Increase Guideline Rights — What Your Landlord Can (and Can't) Raise

Most provinces require 3 months advance written notice for rent increases, and in provinces with rent control your landlord can only raise rent by the annual provincial guideline without tribunal approval.
