The Administrative Housing Tribunal (TAL) is the court before which you must submit your applications relating to a housing lease. Its mission includes deciding disputes between landlords and tenants, informing citizens about the rights and obligations arising from the lease in order to prevent conflicts from developing solely due to ignorance of the provisions of the law, and promoting conciliation in relations between landlords and tenants.
In what cases can the TAL act?
The Administrative Housing Tribunal (TAL) is the only body that can hear cases relating to the lease of residential accommodation when the amount requested or the value of the item claimed is less than $100,000.
How much does it cost to submit an application to the TAL?
The cost varies depending on the type of application and, in some cases, the amount of your rent. Refer to the Fee Schedule available on the TAL website to find out the fees applicable to your situation.
You are exempt from the application fee if you are a social assistance recipient and you can prove this.
