Documenting Landlord Harassment for Dispute Evidence

Landlord harassment can make renting stressful, but clear, organized records can help a tenant explain what happened and seek a remedy. In Newfoundland and Labrador, renters should document repeated unwanted contact, threats, improper entry, interference with reasonable enjoyment, or pressure to leave. Save messages, write down dates and details, keep witness information, and follow safe communication practices. This guide explains how to build dispute evidence, where to find the province's residential tenancy rules, and how to present concerns to the Residential Tenancies office. It also covers practical steps for protecting your privacy and responding to notices without escalating the situation. If you feel unsafe, prioritize immediate safety and contact emergency services or a local support organization.
