Looking forward file a case in small claims court!!

[Belina]

Hello everyone,
Recently I had a plumbing problem in my apartment. We informed the issue to our landlord but they refused to pay and not even responding to it. I tried to communicate many times but still, they are not responding to it. When we rent a property in case of any maintenance normally it would be the responsibility of the landlord. But I'm not aware of the legal rights of tenants while living in a rented apartment. My friend recommended me to file a claim in court and advised me to assist a small claims court in Ontario to know the legal rights and conditionAny tenant here has experienced a similar situation?

Belina, here is Canada's Residential Tenancy Act. Study it to learn your rights as a tenant.

Belina was advertising a paralegal service in Canada where tenants could find legal assistance for small claims cases.

That's not a national law of Canada. Much like the U.S. where landlord tenant law is a matter of state law, most landlord tenant law in Canada is a matter of provincial law. What you linked is the British Columbia landlord-tenant law. For Ontario, a tenant would need to look at the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act (note the slight difference in title from the BC law). That law is long, however, and as a starting place the Ontario government has a guide to the Residential Tenancies Act available.
