Landlord and Tenant Board
Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) Disputes in Ontario
Disputes between landlords and tenants in Ontario are governed by the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) and heard at the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB). Whether you are a landlord seeking to protect your property or a tenant fighting for your rights, the process can be confusing, time-sensitive, and stressful.
At Paragon Paralegal Services, we provide clear, affordable, and reliable legal support for both landlords and tenants involved in disputes before the LTB. From filing an application to representing you at a hearing, we help you navigate the process with confidence.
Common Landlord and Tenant Board Matters
We assist clients with a wide range of LTB issues, including:
Eviction applications for non-payment of rent, persistent late payment, or property damage
Tenant applications for harassment, illegal entry, or loss of reasonable enjoyment
Disputes over maintenance and repairs under the Residential Tenancies Act
Illegal rent increases and abatement claims
N12 Applications (Eviction for Landlord’s Own Use, Family Use, or Sale of Property)
These applications allow a landlord to terminate a tenancy if they, an immediate family member, or a purchaser of the property requires the unit for personal use. N12 notices are often complex and closely reviewed by the Landlord and Tenant Board to ensure they meet all legal requirements under the Residential Tenancies Act. Landlords must comply with strict timelines, compensation rules, and good faith obligations, while tenants may challenge an N12 if they believe the notice is improper or served in bad faith.
