Rental Housing Complaints

The NWT Rental Office is a convenient and accessible place for landlords and tenants to obtain information regarding their rights and obligations. Many landlord-tenant problems are solved simply by providing landlords and tenants with information concerning their respective rights and responsibilities. For issues related to rental housing, a tenant should make reasonable efforts to notify the landlord of the issues and allow time for the resolution of issues.

Environmental Health can provide support and advocate for healthy living environments for tenants. Environmental Health Officers can investigate issues where a landlord has failed to take corrective action.

For more information on rental housing concerns, please get in touch with the NWT Rental Office.
