New Hotline Hours and Service

We're excited to let you know that you can now reach our telephone hotline service on weekends at the hotline number 416-921-9494.  We've got staff available to take calls and answer questions on Saturdays.  You can read our updated hours on our hotline page: https://www.torontotenants.org/hotline

We've also changed from a "hotline" service to an expanded "infohub" service, meaning that in addition to reaching us on the phone you can also connect with us over email ([email protected]) or social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).
