Do you know the tenancy laws in Ontario? The tenancy laws in Ontario can get complicated for both Landlords and Tenants. So I was excited to interview Bita Di Lisi, founder of Stonegate Legal Services, who's firm is dedicated to helping Landlords through the tricky Ontario Residential Tenancy Act (RTA).
