📋 Tenant Legal Services Fee Schedule
This specialized tenant fee schedule is structured around income levels to ensure everyday renters can access dedicated legal representation with clear, predictable, and fair pricing. My fees are organized strictly by individual service steps, allowing you to choose the exact level of support your budget permits—from document preparation to full hearing representation.
💼 Tailored Pricing Tiers
To ensure fairness, my flat rates for tenants are scaled across three clear tiers based on your current household income:
-
Access Tier (Subsidized Rates): For individuals or families currently receiving fixed social assistance (OW / ODSP) or falling within low-income thresholds.
-
Standard Tenant Tier: Fair, predictable flat rates for mid-market working professionals and standard residential tenancies.
-
Premium Tenant Tier: Built for high-end lease agreements, complex multi-tenant disputes, and executive corporate tenancies.

📊 Standard Tenant Matter Pricing: The flat-rate fees listed above apply to standard, average tenant applications and straightforward, single-session hearings. If your dispute presents unusual complexities—such as extensive historical maintenance logs, complex bad-faith claims, or requires multi-day specialized hearings—your custom retainer will reflect those specific case demands. Any adjustments will be explained and agreed upon completely upfront before work begins.
