Under the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (RTA), financial compensation for noise is primarily sought through a rent abatement. Under Section 22 of the Act, tenants have a legal right to "reasonable enjoyment" (often called quiet enjoyment) of their rental unit. If a landlord fails to take reasonable action to stop severe or persistent noise disturbances from neighbors, contractors, or building systems, they are in breach of the RTA. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
