Q  What is a Paralegal? 

   A paralegal is a trained professional who can represent you in a variety of legal matters.  A paralegal is licensed by the Law Society of Ontario, carries errors and omissions insurance and must follow a Professional Code of Conduct. 

Q What is the maximum amount that you can sue for in Ontario Small Claims Court? 

   $35,000.00 is the jurisdictional limit of Ontario Small Claims Court. 

Q  What is the Landlord and Tenant Board? 

  In 1998, the Ontario government set up a tribunal under the Ministry of Housing to handle all issues relating to residential landlord and tenant matters.  This body is now known as the Landlord and Tenant Board.  It administers the Residential Tenancies Act (herein, “the Act”), a law that regulates all residential rentals in Ontario.  The Landlord and Tenant Board has exclusive jurisdiction in the area of residential landlord and tenant law. 

Q  What if I want to move into my rental property myself, or have my family live there? 

This is a valid reason to terminate the tenancy, but you must provide sworn evidence that you require the property in good faith for residential purposes and you must intend to live there for at least one year.  Compensation has to be paid to the tenant or you must provide an acceptable alternative unit.  There are severe penalties for bad faith tenancy terminations.  We can help ensure that the process is done correctly.
