Tenant Services: Including Advocacy Assistance Within Landlord-Tenant Board Proceedings
Question: What are a tenant's legal rights if a landlord attempts an illegal rent increase?
Answer: In Ontario, tenants are protected against unlawful rent increases by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, c. 17. Tenants can contest such increases by filing at the Landlord and Tenant Board. United Legal Services offers assistance in reviewing your case and advocating for your rights to ensure fair treatment.
Legal Rights and Duties Affecting Residential Tenants
To a tenant, a rental dwelling is home. Of course, home means something unique to everyone and these special feelings are recognized. With this said, United Legal Services also recognizes that impartial empathy is often necessary to remain focused upon the legal issues and to remain an objective advisor and negotiator. United Legal Services helps tenants to resolve disputes by first reviewing the facts and issues and then by working to negotiate a resolution with the landlord. If resolution is evasive, United Legal Services can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.

NOTE: Many searches involving “lawyers near me” or “best lawyer in” often reflect a need for immediate, capable legal representation rather than a specific professional title. In the province of Ontario, licensed paralegals are regulated by the same Law Society that oversees lawyers and are authorized to represent clients in designated litigation matters. Advocacy, legal analysis, and procedural skill are central to that role. United Legal Services delivers representation within its licensed mandate, concentrating on strategic positioning, evidentiary preparation, and persuasive advocacy aimed at achieving efficient and favourable resolutions for clients.
