Updates to CLEO’s shared housing tool
This tool helps renters figure out what laws might apply to them when they live with other people. It also explains the rights and responsibilities of renters in different shared housing situations.
Updates to the tool include:
- more information about the Commercial Tenancies Act
- more information about the rights and responsibilities of co-tenants
- links to more resources
- more options for getting legal help
Steps to Justice has a new question that goes along with the tool: What are my rights if I live with roommates? It includes information about community mediation for renters who have minor problems with roommates. It also lists resources for renters with roommates.
CLEO wants to thank the community legal clinics and the Clinic Resource Office who gave so much of their time to launch this updated version of the tool.
