Your Situation
Tell us about the landlord's conduct. Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act 2006 protects tenants against illegal entry, lock changes, harassment, vital-service interference, and interference with reasonable enjoyment.
This letter will cite
Residential Tenancies Act 2006 (Ontario) ss.20-25, 27, 29 (Tenant Applications), 31 (remedies), 234 (offences — fines up to $50,000 / $250,000), 235 (reprisal as offence). LTB Tenant Application T2 process under tribunalsontario.ca/ltb.
Your letter identifies the specific RTA contraventions, demands cessation + remedies, and signals intent to file an LTB T2 application within 7 days if not resolved.
Used to frame rent-abatement calculations against LTB precedents.
Being current on rent strengthens your position substantially. The landlord cannot use rent arrears as a justification for entry / harassment / lock change; only judicial process (an N4 notice + LTB application + sheriff's eviction order) can result in lawful eviction.
