Ontario's Tenant Protection Act, enacted in 1998 and consolidating several pieces of prior residential tenancy legislation, is continuing to create controversy.

Now the new Liberal government is under pressure to revisit what many housing advocates are called an incredibly flawed piece of legislation.
