Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) Disputes
Landlord and Tenant Board Representation in Ontario
Disputes between landlords and tenants in Ontario are resolved through the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB), under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. Whether you are a landlord seeking to end a tenancy or recover unpaid rent, or a tenant facing eviction or unsafe living conditions, the LTB process has strict forms, deadlines, and rules of evidence — and mistakes can cost you the case.
We represent both landlords and tenants in LTB applications and hearings, helping clients understand their rights, prepare strong evidence, and reach the best possible outcome — whether that’s a negotiated resolution or a hearing before an adjudicator.
How the LTB Process Works
-
Notice – Most disputes begin with a formal notice (e.g., N4 for unpaid rent, N12 for landlord’s own use).
-
Application – If the issue isn’t resolved, either party files an application with the LTB.
-
Hearing – The Board schedules a hearing (often held by video or phone), where both sides present evidence.
-
Order – The adjudicator issues a written order, which may include payment terms, an eviction date, or dismissal of the application.
-
Enforcement/Appeal – Orders can be enforced through the Sheriff, or appealed to the Divisional Court on a question of law.
Timelines matter at every stage — missing a response deadline or filing the wrong form can significantly weaken your position.
