Addressing Safety Concerns at Your Rental Property
Professional support for Ontario landlords dealing with illegal activity, safety concerns, and serious tenancy issues.
Managing a rental property becomes significantly more challenging when illegal activity, safety concerns, or serious tenancy issues arise. Whether the situation involves criminal activity, conduct that impairs the safety of others, or behaviour that affects the residential complex, it is important to understand the legal options available and the procedures required under Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act.
Our team assists landlords across Ontario with N6 Notices, evidence preparation, application filing, safety-related tenancy matters, and Landlord and Tenant Board hearings. We help landlords navigate the process with clear communication, responsive support, and professional representation.
What Happens When Illegal Activity or Safety Concerns Arise?
Illegal activity, safety concerns, or serious tenant misconduct can create significant challenges for landlords and other residents. While Ontario landlords may have legal remedies available, the Residential Tenancies Act requires specific notices, evidence, and procedures to be followed before a tenancy can be terminated through the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Mistakes involving notices, service requirements, evidence, applications, or hearing preparation can result in delays, adjournments, or dismissed applications. Taking prompt action and following the correct process can help landlords protect their interests while addressing concerns affecting the rental property and its occupants.
Landlords commonly contact us when:
✔ Illegal activity is occurring at the rental property
✔ The safety of other tenants, neighbours, or property staff has been affected
✔ Police have attended the property following incidents involving occupants or guests
✔ They are unsure whether an N6 Notice is appropriate for the circumstances
✔ They need assistance preparing and filing a Landlord and Tenant Board application
✔ They want representation at a Landlord and Tenant Board hearing

What is an N6 Notice in Ontario?
An N6 Notice is a notice that may be used when a tenant, occupant, or guest has engaged in illegal activity, impaired the safety of others, or caused serious concerns within a residential complex. The notice provides the tenant with information about the allegations and the steps the landlord intends to take.
