Landlord Service Areas Across Ontario

In Ontario, landlords can evict tenants for reasons such as non-payment of rent, persistent late rent payments, damage to the property, illegal activity, or the landlord requiring the unit for personal use. However, eviction must follow the rules set by the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) and the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB). Need help navigating your case? Contact us for expert guidance on your specific situation.

The timeline for an eviction in Ontario varies depending on the reason for eviction, the tenant's response, and the LTB's schedule. On average, the process can take several weeks to a few months. To expedite your case and avoid unnecessary delays, reach out to us for personalized assistance.

No, you cannot legally evict a tenant without involving the Landlord and Tenant Board. Attempting to do so, such as locking the tenant out or shutting off utilities, is considered an illegal eviction and can result in serious penalties. Our team can help you follow the proper legal steps. Contact us for support.

If a tenant stops paying rent, you must first provide them with a legal notice, such as an N4 (Notice to End a Tenancy for Non-payment of Rent). If the issue is not resolved, you can file an application with the LTB to seek an eviction order. Not sure where to start? Let our team guide you through the process. Contact us today.
