Landlords are responsible for keeping units in good repair and for meeting all of Hamilton’s health, safety and property standards. You should make sure the landlord has installed a fully operational smoke detector in your apartment as well.

As a tenant, you are responsible for keeping the unit clean and for any damage to the unit caused by either yourself or anyone you allow into your unit or the building.

If you are experiencing problems with repairs or maintenance in your rental unit, contact the Housing Help Centre (905) 526-8100.
