Most LTB Disputes Were Preventable — This Is the Prevention
Every week we represent landlords in disputes that better paperwork, better screening, or better advice at the start of the tenancy would have avoided. This section is for landlords who want that advice before the problem exists: how to screen applicants without violating the Human Rights Code, how to handle a basement apartment lawfully, how to start a first tenancy on a solid foundation, and how to run a portfolio with legal support on call.
As a firm led by a former LTB adjudicator, our advisory work is shaped by exactly how these issues play out at the Board. If you would rather prevent hearings than win them, start here.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What are the legal reasons I can evict a tenant in 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.
How long does the eviction process take in Ontario?
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.
Can I evict a tenant without going to the Landlord and Tenant Board?
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.
What should I do if my tenant stops paying rent?
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.
Do I need a lawyer to evict a tenant in Ontario?
While you are not legally required to hire a lawyer to evict a tenant, having professional legal representation can significantly improve your chances of success by ensuring that every step is handled correctly. Our experienced team, including a former LTB adjudicator, is here to help. Get in touch with us to discuss your case.
