Form T2 — Tenant Application about Rights
Review the official form for this issue. Draft form filling is not_supported.
Review and document next step
Document everything (photos, witnesses, messages). Call police non-emergency. Call a paralegal or Legal Aid Ontario clinic the same day.
Review before relying
This scenario remains in draft review posture unless the source ledger marks it paralegal reviewed.
Every part of this workspace traces to these official sources.
Educational information only; not legal advice. Scenario, deadline, form-fill, and letter outputs remain draft until licensed review signs off.
Privacy: this workspace stores nothing unless you explicitly save a case, and a saved case holds only the issue type and a short label — never notice text, addresses, amounts, or documents.
