Your rights as a renter

If you are renting a house or apartment, you have the right to be told at least 1 month before about:

  • a house inspection
  • the rent going up
  • being evicted – told to move out.

You might be evicted because you can’t pay your rent.

If you need help paying your rent, you can apply for Rent Assistance from the government.
