Right at Home: Report on the Consultation on Human Rights and Rental Housing in Ontario

This report is the end result of a province-wide consultation on rental housing and human rights by the Ontario Human Rights Commission (the Commission). It documents what the Commission heard and aims to increase our collective understanding of human rights in rental housing. Individuals and organizations responsible for implementing and advancing housing rights protections need to feel "right at home" in understanding what obligations exist and how to fulfill them. Tenants also need to feel "right at home" in being able to access and live in rental housing that is free from discrimination. As the recommendations and commitments in section 6: "Framework for action" show, we all have a role to play in understanding and eliminating housing discrimination in our province.
