Residential Tenancies Act I (Micro-credential) (4 wks)

The Residential Tenancies Act (which replaced the Tenant Protection Act effective 1/1/07) regulates the relationship between residential landlords and tenants. In these courses, we consider what is covered by the Act, breaking a lease, evictions, privacy issues, repairs and maintenance, rules relating to rent, and proceedings before the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board. This course introduces learners to the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA), and to its enforcing body, the Landlord and Tenant Board. Students look at what constitutes a residential lease, ending a lease before the termination date, and rules relating to rent.
