If you are a tenant and have a scheduled digital hearing, we are here to help. Make an appointment with our Tenant Duty Counsel to get free legal advice.
It is difficult to navigate the legal system when you are faced with a tenancy problem. We have created the following tip sheets and guides to provide you with general legal information. They are not legal advice because to get advice on your particular situation, you need to consult a lawyer or legal worker and share with them the details of your problem.
We try to make sure that the information presented in the following tip sheets is accurate and current. However, the law is constantly changing and while we try to keep our tip sheets up-to-date, some information may have changed. Neither ACTO nor the Tenant Duty Counsel are liable for any damages arising out of your use or reliance on any content.
