All of the legal clinics provide legal advice, legal representation, referrals, public legal education and community outreach services. We work with individuals, community groups and service providers to educate people of their legal rights and ensure access to justice for all. All Clinics participate in the Tenant Duty Counsel program at the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal. If you want some free legal advice before your hearing, make sure to be at the Tribunal at least one half hour early so you can talk to a Tenant Duty Counsel. Below you can find out what each individual clinic can do for you.
