Many tenants are unaware of our rights when it comes to finding an apartment.
And why shouldn’t we be? After all finding a new place to call home can be one of the most stressful things anyone can ever do.
Low Vacancy Rates Give Landlords All the Power
Because of the rise of AirBnb lots of rentals are off the market for long term great tenants who want to find a place to put down roots, grow our careers, and raise our families.
With the pro-landlord governments not enforcing the laws against these type of short term rentals, things have never been worse for tenants.

In This Era of Low Vacancy Rates And Gov’t Cuts Tenants Must Take Action!
Canada is a country known for following the rule of law. Yet many people (especially newcomers to Canada) are unaware that many landlords (and employers) want to trick and intimidate people into accepting a lawless “Mad Max” type of state.
1. Landlords Refusing Tenants On Welfare (Ontario Works or ODSP) Is Common…and Illegal!
I hear this all the time. They base your application on source of income, which is ILLEGAL. File a complaint if you are on Ontario Works or ODSP.
File a Human Rights complaint.

Oh you are new here so you are not a real human being?

In Canada You Have Rights! But You Need To Fight For Them!
It’s up to you to make sure you use the fair system to demand your rights and punish these local Canadians who want to scare you, trick you, intimidate you, and abuse you and your family.
Make Sure Canadian Laws Are Followed By Law-Breakers: File A Human Rights Complaint!
You have rights but only if you take action.
Many newcomers to Canada are not aware that the laws are not “automatically” happening…you need to speak up and be aggressive to Defend Your Rights.
Speak up, be aggressive and make sure your legal rights are protected and you get the money you deserve from illegal criminal landlords.
Insider Info: I spoke with a lawyer who is often at the Human Rights Commission Tribunal (OHRC)
She explained if your complaint is accepted (and you can demand it be accepted by NOT BACKING DOWN) tenants will often not only win, but win a large monetary judgement against the landlord who has to try to defend themselves.
This is why the big corporate landlords don't fear the mediocre LTB but do truly fear the OHRC tribunal.
While the Landlord and Tenant Board is understaffed and often can’t attract the best people due to low salaries and bureaucracy, the OHRC is run by educated professionals who know how important their job is. They are passionate about protecting the rights of the vulnerable like us..
Fellow Tenants You Have Nothing To Fear And Nothing To Lose AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN FIGHTING FOR YOUR RIGHTS!
