Services
Neighbourhood Legal Services is a non-profit and independent community legal clinic that has been serving the community since 1973. We provide free legal services and assistance to low income individuals who live within our catchment area and qualify for our services. We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.
Can we leave messages?: Do you identify as Indigenous? What is your race/ethnicity? Are there special considerations (such as accommodations) we should know about to serve you best? If you are not completing an intake and have a general inquiry please call the main line at 416-861-0677 and leave a message.
Once you have filled out your T2 or T6 application you can make an intake appointment to have your application reviewed by a lawyer. Depending on your application you may be ready to file and receive hearing preparation for your hearing or you may be referred to our Tenant Application Student Support Program for help improving your application.
In addition the services we provide for our community every day, NLS is also engaged in outreach activity, and has also undertaken and completed a number of special projects, highlighted here.

I met to discuss the options for my current housing issues/circumstances and he didn't listen to me and cut me off everytime I tried to explain anything (saying that he what I was trying/going to say and the answer is____) and victim blamed me. I told him he lacks basic communication skills and was victim blaming me. He said he wasn't but had a lack of response what I ask him to explain in farther depth to clear up the miscommunication. I ended up walking out with the advice that if i should buy a house (and he did state that if had to be a house and not a condo).
I will be calling for his name

Excellent assistance for human rights issues, employment related types of discrimination. Please support our community legal clinic, impacted by government cutbacks. For people who cannot afford legal assistance, rights should be respected. Access to housing, education or employment are areas that impact people who live on limited income. I had a terrible experience and was very fortunate to have legal support.

Neighbourhood Legal Services is outstanding and essential. These people work long and hard and the government is attempting to gut this service! Protect it. Write to your premier and make sure services like this are not terminated. Outstanding, sensetive empathic lawyers who really go out of the way to make you feel like a person and to help you get your home back. Bless bless bless rain love and heaps of everything good on this place.
