Our Methodology
How We Verify Information
Every legal claim on MyHousingRights.ca is cross-referenced against the official text of the relevant statute or regulation, available through the Justice Laws Website (laws-lois.justice.gc.ca) or the applicable provincial legislation portal. We verify section numbers, thresholds, deadlines, and procedural requirements against the current consolidated version of each statute. Where tribunal decisions are cited, we confirm the citation through CanLII (Canadian Legal Information Institute). We do not rely on secondary sources, legal blogs, or news articles as primary references.
Content Review Process
Content is reviewed whenever relevant legislation is amended or when new tribunal decisions establish important precedents. Federal statutes are monitored for amendments through the Parliament of Canada website and the Canada Gazette. Provincial legislation updates are tracked through the relevant provincial legislative assembly or gazette. When an amendment affects content on MyHousingRights.ca, the relevant pages are updated to reflect the change.
Editorial Responsibility
MyHousingRights.ca is operated by 17695977 Canada Corp., a CBCA federal corporation. All content is founded and reviewed by A M Monjur Hassan. A M Monjur Hassan is not a lawyer or paralegal. This platform is an information aggregation service, not a legal advice practice. For questions about our editorial process or to report an error, contact us at contact@myhousingrights.ca.
Limitations
This platform provides Canadian housing and home buying information, not legal advice. While we take care to ensure accuracy, Canadian law is complex and changes over time through legislative amendments, regulatory updates, and new court or tribunal decisions. The information on MyHousingRights.ca may not reflect the most recent legal developments. General information cannot account for the specific facts of your situation. Before taking legal action, filing a complaint with a regulatory body, or making decisions based on information here, consult a qualified lawyer or licensed paralegal in your jurisdiction.

Accuracy is our highest priority. If you find information on MyHousingRights.ca that appears to be incorrect, outdated, or misleading, please contact us at contact@myhousingrights.ca with the page URL and a description of the issue. We review all reports and correct verified errors promptly.
