Other Housing Dispute Issues Commonly Litigated Between a Landlord and Tenant
Question: What common disputes arise between landlords and tenants, and how can they be resolved?
Answer: Tenancy disputes often stem from differing expectations regarding rent, property maintenance, and legal rights. Both parties can benefit from understanding their legal obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, [S.O. 2006, c. 17]. By approaching issues with open communication and a willingness to learn, landlords and tenants can potentially resolve conflicts amicably, saving time and expenses in the process.
Legal Disputes That Might Arise Between a Landlord and a Tenant
Tenancy disputes can become hotly contested. A tenant wants full value for the rent paid to occupy what is home to the tenant. A landlord wants to yield a profitable return as the owner of an investment property. While most landlord and tenant relationships will be synergistic and mutually rewarding, when disputes arise, conflicting desires and expectations may drive passions high; however, if both parties approach the dispute with an open mind and genuine effort to understand the legal rights and duties applicable to the situation, waste of time and money may be avoided.
