Legal Research for rental disputes

No. Legal Research is designed for research and trend analysis only. You won't be able to search by a tenant's name within the Legal Rearch database. For tenant screening, please use the Openroom Public Record Search tool which is specifically designed for that purpose as it includes proper tenant protections and dispute processes.

Our database is updated every single day with the latest court orders. New cases are added after a thorough review of its authenticity and relevance to Openroom. We always ensure you have access to the most current information.

All data in Openroom Legal Research comes from an official Tribunal or Court Order records. Every record goes through a multitude of checks before it becomes accessible in the database for our public members to search.

Legal Research is ideal for property managers tracking market trends, lawyers and paralegals researching case precedents, landlords monitoring their jurisdiction, renters preparing to attend court, and real estate professionals staying informed about rental dispute patterns.

Our database includes court orders dating back to 2012, with comprehensive coverage increasing over time as more records are added. The exact timeframe varies by jurisdiction and case type. All cases, regardless of whether the various parties win or lose their case are made public within Legal Research because it's for the purposes of education.
