It aims to address questions that may arise during tenancy, give resources around the rights and responsibilities that tenants and landlords are to expect, and help with navigating the rental process. The provincial Residential Tenancies Act  sets out rights and responsibilities for tenants and landlords that rent properties in Ontario, while the City supports renters through local bylaws, information, and services.
