Common Concerns:

Frequent Legal Issues Between Landlords and Tenants



Last Updated: August 22 2026

Question: What are common residential landlord and tenant disputes in Ontario and how do I respond under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006?

Answer: Benchmark Legal Offices can help Ontario landlords and tenants respond to common disputes involving rent increases, repair and maintenance, disruptive behaviour, and eviction or termination steps under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, c. 17;  before you file or respond, collect key documents (lease, payment proof, photos, notices), confirm deadlines and the proper Landlord and Tenant Board process, and avoid actions like lockouts or changing services that can create extra liability for both sides.  If you tell Benchmark Legal Offices what happened and what notice or application you received, a lawyer & paralegal office can outline the likely issues, next steps, and evidence you need to protect your rights and reduce delays or costs.  Call (289) 389-8840 for a quick case assessment.
