A Kingston woman can't be evicted from her apartment for comments she posted about her landlord on her blog, a tribunal ruled Tuesday.
Hrray ! A victory for free speach !
The Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal dismissed the eviction order, saying Homestead failed to prove the accusations posted on the blog were unfounded.
thats not much of a victory ! So what your'e saying is that if the comments had proved to be unfounded they could successfully evict her ?
Hmmm.... Actually , thats not that bad a deal. If you slander your land lord they can boot you....
Unfortuantely doesn't work on jobs. most jobs can fire you any time they like , just make up a reason , or the position has become redundant or some such.
ah well. When you go public , I guess you better be able to back up your words.

A great tenant resource is the Ontario Tenants Rights website.
They even have an Ottawa apartments for rent and Ottawa Tenants community directory
