Tenants may bring an application against a landlord at the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) alleging discrimination under the Ontario Human Rights Code, whether in connection with a tenancy application, an existing tenancy, or the enforcement of a landlord's rights under the Residential Tenancies Act. These applications carry real consequences and require a prompt, well-prepared response. D&D Associates Paralegal Professional Corporation represents landlords through every stage of the HRTO process.

We understand that a Human Rights application can be stressful, particularly when it arises alongside or in response to Landlord and Tenant Board proceedings. Our paralegals will review the allegations, assess your position, and build a clear, well-supported defence grounded in the facts and the applicable law.
