FAQs
Questions about Ask Almond
What to know before you ask.
Is this legal advice?
No. Almond gives legal information about Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act and the Landlord and Tenant Board process so you understand your options. For a dispute, a hearing, or anything you’re unsure about, speak with a licensed paralegal or lawyer.
What can I ask about?
Anything about renting out a home in Ontario: rent and late payments, N4 and other notices, rent increases, deposits, repairs and maintenance, entering the unit, and applications to the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Which provinces does Almond cover?
Ontario. If your property is somewhere else, Almond will tell you it can’t speak to the rules where you are.
Is it free?
Yes. Asking is free and needs no account. Each chat has a limit; after that you can sign up to keep asking.
How is this different from searching online?
Search results mix provinces, old rules and forum guesses. Almond answers for Ontario only and follows up on your specific situation.
Can Almond handle the work, not just answer?
Yes. With an Almond plan it tracks rent, handles tenant requests and repairs, follows up with vendors and keeps you updated, with your approval on anything important. See Pricing for plans.
Does Almond replace my property manager?
It can. Almond manages the daily coordination work behind a rental, at a lower cost than a traditional manager who charges a share of the rent.
