Course description

This online seminar course, Residential Tenancies Act, Part II, introduces learners to the law and procedures that govern residential tenancies in Ontario. The Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) defines and regulates the relationship between a residential tenant and his or her landlord. In this course you are introduced to the RTA, and to its enforcing body, the Landlord and Tenant Board. We also look at privacy and harassment issues, evictions, and repair and maintenance issues. Students who wish to learn about the RTA’s treatment of what constitutes a residential lease, ending a lease before the termination date, and rules relating to rent, will be interested in Residential Tenancies Act, Part I, which takes a closer look at those issues.
