Public Legal Education: Human Rights and Fighting Eviction at the Landlord and Tenant Board - the Basics

Join our Housing Team for our latest Public Legal Education

Part I – August 4, 2022 @ 1pm- 2:30pm

We will introduce you to the Human Rights Code and the ways in which it protects marginalized Ontarians. We will define key terms, such as discrimination and harassment, and will discuss who is protected by the Code and how you can enforce your rights if you believe you have experienced discrimination. We will also discuss how the Code protects tenants in Ontario, including when you are looking for an apartment and when you are already a renter.

Part II – August 11, 2022 @ 1pm-2:30pm

We will introduce you to the basics of the eviction process under the RTA (Residential Tenancies Act). We will focus particularly on for cause evictions; that is for matters involving Landlord applications to terminate the tenancy and evict for illegal acts, substantial interference and impairment of safety. We will discuss Human Rights Code issues raised by tenants during an eviction proceeding at the LTB. Finally we will discuss practical ways to assist and support tenants through the eviction process.
