Normally, Landlord Tenant law controls the relationship among parties who’ve entered a deal to rent or lease residential or commercial space for a particular amount of time for an agreed rental amount. Most of the time, both parties sign a lease that lessens the scope of their agreement to writing and controls any disputes, discrepancies, or questions that arise about respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations of the parties.

Tenancy disputes are a very typical part of renting, and while most of such problems are minor in nature, it is critical to understand what steps to take to make sure a solution is proposed and performed through.

Sometimes, a dispute could be settled without any external interference at all. When the two parties are able to arrive at a resolution, make sure that it’s in writing and that it’s signed by both the landlord and the tenant.

When the resolution can’t be agreed upon, it is still vital to write down the concern and deliver it to the other party. That’s because it can be utilized later to show that the problem was carried to their attention. When discussion does not work, the next step is applying for remedies. You see, the Residential Tenancies Act categorizes what remedies are applicable to both tenants and landlords.

After both parties are acquainted of the problem, a tenant or landlord might move forward and apply for some remedies with a different route at the Landlord Tenant Board (“LTB”). Remedies are the legal term for actions a tenant or landlord can request when they feel that the other party hasn’t fulfilled their roles within the tenancy agreement.

Remedies for tenant:

• Termination of Tenancy
• Compensation
• Rent Abatement
• Damages

Remedies for landlord

• Damages
• Recovery of property
• Termination of tenancy
• Recovery of rent

But wait, there’s more. You will find two other ways tenants and landlords can take to apply for remedies:

– Provincial Court
Here, tenants or landlords seeking to apply for a remedy of approximately $50,000 can go straight to the Provincial Court of Toronto. That involves a more formal procedure compared to RTDRS. However, lawyers aren’t necessarily needed.

– Superior Court of Justice
The Superior Court of Justice is considered the superior court in Ontario. Lawyers are suggested at this state, and only bigger disputes will generally make it to this court.

A lawyer is there to look-out for your best interests seeing you are fairly treated in a court of law. A lawyer has also been properly educated with the law and this will work for  your advantage.
