Housing Information
If you are having difficulty finding housing and need some assistance, there are a number of groups that provide housing search services that you can use. However, some of these associations only cater to specific members of the community. Even if you currently have house, it is always good to be prepared for any difficulties you may encounter. As a tenant, you have certain rights and responsibilities. To learn more contact the Landlord and Tenant Board or the Renters Education and Networking Together (RENT) or Waterloo.
