What can I do about harassment?

Tell your landlord there is a problem and that you want it to stop. Keep notes about the harassment.
Ask other tenants if they are also being harassed. You might be better able to solve these problems if tenants work together.
Complain to the Rental Housing Enforcement Unit (RHEU). Call 1-888-772-9277 or go to their website at ontario.ca/page/solve-disagreement-your-landlord-or-tenant.
Call the police. If the situation is urgent or you feel unsafe, call 911.
Apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board. You should do this within one year of when the harassment happened. It is best to get legal advice. You can speak to a lawyer at a community legal clinic by calling Legal Aid Ontario at 1-800-668-8258 (TTY: 711) or visit legalaid.on.ca.
