Landlord and Tenant Law with Respect to Mental Health, Addictions, and
Evictions - Workshop​

The goal of this workshop is to provide a better understanding of the
interpretation of legislation
​around Landlord and Tenant law and how it applies to tenants who are at
risk of eviction due to mental health issues and/ or addictions. It is open
to front line workers of non profit agencies who work with those who are
experiencing homelessness.
​

​ This workshop will be held on Wednesday, Janu​ary 28, 2015 at 12:30p.m at
100 Constellation Crescent in the Library Room.  Workers can register

The workshop provides an overview of the Ontario Human Rights Code, the
Residential Tenancies Act, and the duty to accommodate a tenant who has
mental health issues and/ or addictions.  It demystifies the process of how
the Board reaches its decisions, and describes circumstances that must be
considered prior to making a decision to evict a tenant.


The workshop provides practical information illustrated by case examples.
The presentation also includes a special ‘Support Worker’s Section’ geared
specifically to the issues that workers may face when dealing with tenants
who are at risk of eviction.​  This workshop is sponsored by the Community
Capacity Building Training Program
​.​

 The Community Capacity Building (CCB) Training program is funded by the
Homelessness Partnering Strategy/ Employment and Social Development Canada;
managed by The City of Ottawa, and designed to help the non-profit service
agencies in Ottawa who work with those experiencing homelessness.
