Rental: Landlord
租赁·房东：租客筛选、RTA / N4 / N12、押金、驱逐、自主管理。 Tenant screening, RTA / N4 / N12, deposits, evictions, self-managing rentals.
Does Your Landlord Have to Give You a Copy of the Lease and Rent Receipts? Yes — and the “Withhold Rent” Rule Has a Trap
“No signed lease? Then I'll just stop paying rent.” It's the move that quietly backfires on Ontario tenants. A missing copy — or a landlord that won't put its legal name and address on paper — really does pause your rent under RTA s.12. But the day the landlord fixes the paperwork, it can claw back every dollar you held: withheld rent is parked, never erased. The same statute hands you a right most renters forget — a free receipt, on request, good for a full year after you move out. Broker Arthur Zhao on using the freeze without landing in arrears.
房东必须给你租约副本和租金收据吗？「暂停交租」这条，多数人用错了
房东没给签字的租约副本、没写清法定名址、拒开租金收据，安省法律怎么说？本文按 RTA 第 12 条、第 109 条讲清：房东合规前交租义务「暂停」（第 12(4) 条），但补齐手续后可全额追讨（第 12(5) 条）——是递延不是豁免；以及收据必须免费提供、前租客 12 个月内仍可索取。地产经纪 Arthur Zhao 拆解你手里这个易被用错的筹码。
Ontario’s Winter Disconnection Ban — and the Landlord Who Doesn’t Pay the Bill
If a landlord fails to pay the hydro or gas bill and the utility cuts the service, Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act (s.21(2)) treats the landlord as having withheld a vital service — no proof of bad intent required. Layered on top: the OEB winter ban that stops disconnection for non-payment from Nov 15 to Apr 30, and a separate RTA window (Sept 1 to June 15) for heat. Broker Arthur Zhao maps who is on the hook and which rule applies when.
冬天不能断电断气：安省两个「保护期」不一样长，房东欠费更被法律视同亲手断供
冬天在安省，电和天然气公司不得因欠费给住宅客户断供——但这条 OEB 禁令的日期（11 月 15 日至 4 月 30 日），和《住宅租赁法》里「暖气算命脉服务」的日期（9 月 1 日至 6 月 15 日）根本不重合。更关键的是：房东该付账单却不付、供应商因此停供，RTA s.21(2) 直接把它视同房东自己扣留命脉服务，无需证明恶意。地产经纪 Arthur Zhao 拆清两个窗口的差异与房东租客的责任归属。
Can an Ontario Landlord Put Cameras on a Rental Property? The Law That Actually Decides It Isn’t Privacy Law
Wondering whether your Ontario landlord can install security cameras — or whether you can make them stop? The operative question isn’t whether it breaks privacy law. It’s what happens when a tenant objects, and that runs through the Landlord and Tenant Board under s.22 and s.23 of the Residential Tenancies Act, not a privacy commissioner. Broker Arthur Zhao maps which of three laws actually bites, and why the Criminal Code almost never does.
房东能在出租屋装监控吗？在安省，真正管这件事的不是「隐私法」，是 RTA 第 22 条
房东在出租屋、走廊、门口装监控，租客觉得被盯着，第一反应往往是「告他违反隐私法」。但在安省，管住私人房东的其实不是任何一部隐私法——是《Residential Tenancies Act, 2006》第 22 条（合理享用）和第 23 条（骚扰），由 LTB 裁，能判租金减免。地产经纪 Arthur Zhao 拆清三部法各管哪一段，以及刑法 s.162 为什么绝大多数摄像头都够不着。
Ontario Housing Co-op Terminations: The Half the LTB Is Barred From Reviewing
Facing removal from an Ontario housing co-op, most people save their arguments for the Landlord and Tenant Board — the wrong room. Co-op terminations usually run on two tracks in a set order: the board first ends your membership under the Co-operative Corporations Act s.171.8, then the co-op seeks possession, at the LTB if Part V.1 applies or by court writ if it does not. The catch in RTA s.94.9: the LTB is barred from reviewing whether the board terminated you properly. Broker Arthur Zhao maps where the real fight happens.
住房合作社成员被终止资格：董事会决定的那一半，LTB 依法不能碰
住在住房合作社里被要求搬走，第一反应往往是「去 LTB 讲道理」——但这套机器和你熟悉的房东租客那套不一样。安省合作社终止占用原则上是两阶段：先由董事会依 Co-operative Corporations Act s.171.8 决议终止你的成员资格与占用权，之后合作社才依 RTA Part V.1 向 LTB 申请驱逐令。埋在 s.94.9 里的关键一句：到了 LTB，它依法「不得审查」董事会那一步是否合规。地产经纪 Arthur Zhao 拆开这条双轨链，告诉你真正该在哪一步据理力争。
