Tenant Organizing Manual

This manual was developed to assist tenants to form self-help tenant associations and guide them through their organization and operations. There are sections on why tenants should organize, how to organize, and how to set up and manage a tenants' association. There are also several sample documents, such as meeting minutes, agendas, by-laws, and a tenant maintenance questionnaire.
Please note that this resource has been updated to reflect the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) that took effect on January 31, 2007.
