To sue a person or business in small claims court, your lawsuit, called a claim, must fall into one of the two following categories:

Claims for money owed under an agreement, such as,
unpaid accounts for goods or services sold and delivered
unpaid loans
unpaid rent
NSF (non-sufficient funds) cheques
Claims for damages, such as,
property damage
damages for loss of reputation
clothes damaged by a dry cleaner
personal injuries
breach of contract

Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario

If you believe you have experienced discrimination or harassment, we can assist you to file an application with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) on your behalf. The HRTO resolves claims of discrimination and harassment brought under the Human Rights Code.

What is the Human Rights Code?

The HRTO resolves claims of discrimination and harassment brought under the Human Rights Code, a law that protects people in Ontario from discrimination and harassment in five areas:

  • employment
  • accommodation (housing)
  • goods, services and facilities
  • contracts
  • membership in trade and vocational associations.

The Code prohibits discrimination and harassment on any of the following grounds:

  • Race
  • Colour
  • Ancestry
  • Place of origin
  • Citizenship
  • Ethnic origin
  • Disability
  • Creed
  • Sex, including sexual harassment and pregnancy
  • Sexual orientation
  • Gender identity
  • Gender expression
  • Family status
  • Marital status
  • Age
  • Receipt of public assistance (Applies only to claims about housing.)
  • Record of offences (Applies only to claims about employment and to criminal convictions for which you have received a pardon.)

Landlord and Tenant Board

Residential Tenancy Agreement

We have many years of experience representing both landlords and tenants at the board.

In Ontario, the residential tenancies act 2006 governs not just the rights, but also the obligations and dozens of other aspects in relation to the relationship between landlord and the tenant

Here are the rights you have as a landlord in Ontario:

  • setting the rent amount
  • requesting personal information (in a manner consistent with the Ontario human rights code)
  • collecting rent deposit and a key deposit
  • changing the locks
  • adjusting the rent

As for responsibilities, there are plenty of them, the most common important ones being:

  • maintenance and repairs
  • meeting heating requirements
  • giving your tenants a tenancy agreement
  • entering the rental unit without notice under specific circumstances, like when there’s a fire, flood, or other emergencies
