Profile
Dedicated Advocacy for Toronto Tenants
Tenant Lawyer Professional Corporation is a specialized legal practice located in the creative hub of Queen West. Led by Samuel Mason, an experienced tenant rights lawyer and former clinic instructor at Parkdale Community Legal Services, the firm is exclusively dedicated to protecting the homes and rights of renters. Unlike many firms that represent both sides, this practice focuses solely on tenants, providing unconflicted representation in a market where landlords often have the upper hand. The firm is known for supporting organized tenant groups, handling rent strikes, and defending against bad-faith evictions.
Tenant Defence Services
- Eviction Defence: rigorous representation at the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) to stop evictions based on renovation (renoviction), personal use, or arrears.
- Rent Strikes and Organizing: Legal support for building-wide tenant actions and collective bargaining with corporate landlords.
- Appeals: representing tenants in Divisional Court appeals when the LTB makes errors in law.
- Maintenance and Harassment: Filing applications (T2, T6) to force landlords to do repairs and stop harassment.
- Consultations: Providing legal opinions and demand letters for tenants who need to understand their rights before taking action.
A Voice for the Vulnerable
Samuel Mason serves on the board of the Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario (ACTO) and is deeply embedded in the housing justice movement. The firm assists those who may not qualify for legal aid but still require expert, affordable counsel. If you are looking to order a lawyer to fight an illegal rent increase or need to find a legal expert to represent your tenant association, Tenant Lawyer Professional Corporation offers the specialized knowledge required to win. They understand that housing is a human right and fight tirelessly to keep clients in their homes.
Landlords often try to criminalize tenant organizing. We are here to ensure tenants have a strong legal defence and the power to negotiate.
