Working with the Residential Tenancies Act, 5th Edition explains the practices and procedures of representing landlords and tenants before the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board. This text’s comprehensive coverage includes straightforward explanations of tenancy types, landlord and tenant application procedures, and protection and enforcement of both landlord and tenant rights in plain language.

The fifth edition includes detailed Case in Point boxes that contextualize legal situations that students will encounter in their future careers. It addresses business and negotiation issues as they apply to residential tenancy disputes from the differing perspectives of tenants, tenant advocates, landlords, and landlord advocates. This edition also includes new case law, revised sample documents, and recent legislative amendments, making this the most up-to-date resource for law clerks and paralegal students.
