Tenant Rights in Ontario: What to Do if You Receive an Eviction Notice

Receiving an eviction notice can be stressful and overwhelming, but tenants in Ontario have rights under the Residential Tenancies Act.

Step 1: Review the Notice

Not all eviction notices are valid. For example, a landlord cannot evict a tenant without proper forms and legal grounds.

Step 2: Know Your Rights
• You cannot be evicted for asking for repairs.
• Evictions must go through the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).
• You have the right to attend a hearing and present your case.

Step 3: Seek Help Early

Don’t wait until your hearing date. Understanding your options early can improve your chances of success.

📞 If you’ve received an eviction notice, contact us immediately. We’ll review your case and represent your interests at the Landlord and Tenant Board.
