As a tenant of Ottawa, you are entitled to know what it legal means to be a tenant, what your rights are, and what possible violations of those rights could be.
The goal of the Ottawa Tenants Conference is to address the imbalance of power that exists between landlords and tenants by providing a safe environment to engage tenants in dialogue. We strive to reduce the isolation tenants experience in dealing with their housing problems by bringing them together collectively and empowering them to advocate for themselves. We provide education to tenants about structural legislation and systemic policy so they have a better understanding of the broader guiding principles and the decisions at a higher level that impact on their lives.
