Through our Tenant Hotline, Outreach & Organizing Team, and Tenant Education workshops, we consistently hear from tenants about some of the most egregious violations of tenant protection legislation in Ontario. While the current law, the Residential Tenancies Act, has sought to remedy some of the injustices of its predecessor, the ironically named Tenant Protection Act, there continues to be a lack of real legal protection for tenants in Ontario. Further to this, there continue to be serious systemic barriers for many tenants attempting to access justice under the Residential Tenancies Act.
