The reasons listed above are the only reasons why you as a tenant can be evicted from your home. This book is designed to be guide for tenants who are facing the threat of eviction. It is my goal to provide you the reader with the tools necessary to defend your self at a Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board hearing. This book is by no means a substutute or legal advice, but i given the choice between last minute help from duty counsel or reading this book in advance of a a hearing date followed by last minute duty counsel I know which option many o my former clients would have chosen.

This book is broken down much like a reference manuel. The purpose of this book is not only to educate you well in advance of your hearing date, but to serve as a practical tool during the hearing process.
