Housing & Landlord-Tenant Law Research with Casey

Evictions are high-stress and highly technical. Landlords need to follow strict procedures. Tenants need to understand timelines, required notices, and what defences are available. The smallest detail can change the outcome.

Casey retrieves rulings outlining proper notice requirements, opportunities to cure, and hearing procedures — helping tenants verify their landlord followed the rules and landlords confirm their process meets legal standards.

Broken appliances, leaks, mold, heating problems, and unsafe conditions all fall under the landlord's duty to maintain the rental unit. But what qualifies as a breach is not always obvious.

Casey returns decisions evaluating repair timelines, severity of damage, and remedies granted — helping tenants prepare strong applications and landlords understand their obligations clearly.

Rent control rules vary widely. Some increases are allowed, some are not, and some exemptions apply to specific types of housing. Many landlords and tenants both get these rules wrong.

Casey delivers real rulings explaining which increases were denied, which were allowed, and why — giving tenants confidence to challenge improper increases and landlords clarity to avoid costly mistakes.

Security deposit fights are common. Tenants argue the landlord kept too much. Landlords argue the tenant caused damage. Tribunals look closely at evidence including move-in condition, receipts, and photos.

Casey surfaces decisions showing where adjudicators drew the line between normal deterioration and tenant-caused damage — helping both sides prepare their evidence.

Tenants have the right to live without unreasonable disturbance — whether from landlord harassment, unauthorized entry, disruptive neighbours, or excessive construction. These cases depend heavily on context.

Casey returns rulings where adjudicators evaluated frequency of entry, justification, notices given, and impact on the tenant — giving tenants clarity and landlords a view of how their conduct may be interpreted.

Housing disputes often intersect with human rights protections. Refusals to rent, discriminatory comments, failure to accommodate disabilities, or eviction attempts tied to protected characteristics are all legally regulated.

Casey retrieves rulings explaining evidentiary burdens, credibility assessments, and what conduct qualifies as discriminatory — giving tenants a path forward and housing providers clarity on compliance.
