Tenant Rights & Responsibilities
Tenants who reside in a subsidized unit are protected by the Landlord and Tenant Board, an agency of the Government of Ontario under the Residential Tenancies Act, (2011).
All households in receipt of a subsidy have responsibilities to obtain and retain their subsidy. These responsibilities are outlined in the Housing Services Act, (2006) and are explained in detail during the move-in process.

If you do not qualify for subsidized housing, Sault Ste. Marie Housing Corporation also operates affordable market rent and market rent units.
