L1 application help for St. Thomas landlords
St. Thomas landlords often deal with rent arrears in houses, duplexes, apartments, and secondary suites where the tenant has already promised to catch up more than once. An L1 Application for non-payment of rent requires the file to become more formal: N4, proof of service, ledger, lease, and payment proof.
The N4 should list rent arrears only and use the correct termination date. If payments are made after the notice, the landlord should update the balance before the hearing.
Keep the payment history clear
The ledger should show each rent period, rent charged, payments received, and remaining balance. If the tenant disputes the amount or says the landlord agreed to wait, messages and payment records should be ready.
Repair issues may also come up. The landlord should prepare maintenance requests, responses, invoices, and photos where relevant. Other tenancy concerns may need a separate Core LTB Applications route.
