Leasing & Renting
A residential lease is a contractual agreement between a landlord and a tenant, where the landlord agrees to provide the tenant with a peaceful place to live in exchange for regular rental payments. When conflicts arise, either the tenant or landlord may file a formal complaint with the Administrative Housing Tribunal (TAL) to resolve their dispute. This section offers you detailed information on your English-language housing rights, as well as information on access to English-language services available at the TAL.
