After holding focus groups in Newfoundland and Labrador, CNIB created this legal information handbook to provide helpful responses to some of the most common questions we heard.
In the handbook below, you’ll find:
- An overview of your most important legal rights related to housing
- Answers to common questions like
- "What if I was denied housing because I have a guide dog?"
- “The amenities/facilities in the building that I live in (e.g., laundry, etc.) are not accessible to people with sight loss. What can I do?”
- Links to helpful legal services and community supports
The Know Your Rights legal Information handbooks are available in two different formats:
If you’d like to receive this handbook in Braille or DAISY format, please email knowyourrights@cnib.ca. Did this handbook answer your question or did it connect you to a helpful resource? Please let us know!
