Ontario Housing Rights Professional Toolkit — field print pack

Take-away

One-page field pack

Print this sheet and keep it in the case bag. It contains no client data.

Sequence

  1. Safety tonight? → 911 / VAW / trafficking lines → SPP if eligible.
  2. Does the Code apply? Shared kitchen/bathroom with owner? If yes, few statutory rights.
  3. Code ground in the story? If yes, accommodation + possible HRTO / LTB Code argument.
  4. Income gap → OW/ODSP maximization, 30% test, RGI application, portable benefit.
  5. Housing First plan → official coordinated-access tool + supports around the tenancy.
  6. Write it down in the agency file. This website will not remember it.

Primacy

Human Rights Code wins conflicts with the RTA and the Housing Services Act unless the other statute expressly says otherwise. Rights cannot be signed away.
