Need Help? Resources for Tenants
If you find yourself struggling with privacy issues or other tenancy disputes, the Government of Nunavut and the territorial justice department can offer guidance and support.
1. The landlord's right to entry is governed by specific guidelines and must respect tenant privacy by providing adequate notice.
Keep a written record of entry notices: note the date, time, duration, and stated reason. If proper notice isn’t given, request written, compliant notice or contact the tenancy office for guidance on remedies.
2. Understanding and documenting privacy agreements and communications ensure your rights are not compromised.
Retain copies of privacy clauses and all communications with the landlord. If a term is unclear, ask for written clarification and keep a log of exchanges to protect your rights.
3. Seek assistance from the Nunavut Residential Tenancy Office if any issues arise.
If issues occur, reach out to the Nunavut Residential Tenancy Office for guidance on next steps and possible dispute resolution; have your lease, notices, and records ready when you contact them.
