Consumer Tips - Landlord and Tenant Problems

Landlord and tenant regulations vary considerably across Canada. Different government departments in each province and territory administer the legislation.

Check the government listings in your telephone book. If there is no specific reference to landlord and tenant services, call the general government number for a referral.

For landlord and tenant information, please see the An Introduction to Renting in Canada section of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) website.
