Representation Provided to Landlords
Defend-it Legal Services provides legal services for landlords as the owners of residential rental properties as well as for property managers as agent acting for the actual landlord.

In short, Defend-it Legal Services provides knowledgeable help with the paperwork and administration and professional advocacy that may be required to maintain healthy and rewarding landlord and tenant relationships.
Representation Provided to Tenants
To a tenant, your rental dwelling is 'your home'. Of course, 'home' means something unique to everyone and these special feelings are recognized. With this said, Defend-it Legal Services also recognizes that impartial empathy is often necessary to remain focused upon the legal issues and to remain an objective advisor and negotiator. Defend-it Legal Services helps tenants to resolve disputes by first reviewing the facts and issues and then by working to negotiate a resolution with the landlord. If resolution is evasive, Defend-it Legal Services can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.

Defend-it Legal Services provides legal services for Landlord and Tenant Board matters involving Above Guideline Index Rent Increases, Eviction for Unlawful Conduct, and much more, as issues common to concerns governed by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, Chapter 17. With this said, sometimes when a dispute involves a residential landlord and tenant, certain issues must proceed at the Landlord Tenant Board. The failure to bring specific issues into the proper forum may cause a dismissal the proceedings. It is also possible that when a dispute is brought into the wrong forum, the right to a redo or a restart of proceedings in the proper forum is lost. Accordingly, choosing the proper forum is imperative. With other cases, such as commercial tenancy disputes, the issues are always beyond the jurisdiction of the Landlord Tenant Board and must be pursued in the Superior Court depending on the legal issues involved.
NOTE: An extensive array of inquiries like “lawyers near me” or “best lawyer in” typically indicates a desire for prompt and proficient legal representation rather than a specific title for a professional. In Ontario, paralegals who are licensed are governed by the same Law Society that supervises lawyers and possess the authority to represent clients in particular litigation issues. Skills in advocacy, legal analysis, and procedural expertise are vital to this role. Defend-it Legal Services offers legal representation within its licensed boundaries, focusing on strategic positioning, evidentiary preparation, and compelling advocacy designed to secure efficient and positive outcomes for clients.
