2. Get legal help
Question & Answer
What are my options before my eviction hearing?It's always best to get legal advice about eviction problems.
If you have a low income, you can call your local community legal clinic and try to make an appointment to discuss your situation. Be sure to tell the clinic if you have an eviction hearing scheduled.
If you can't get help from a community legal clinic, you can contact Pro Bono Ontario's Free Legal Advice Hotline. Or you can contact JusticeNet, a non-profit organization that can connect you with a lawyer or licensed paralegal who has agreed to work for reduced fees.
You can also contact the Law Society Referral Service for a free 30-minute consultation with a lawyer or paralegal.
