Residential Tenancies Act & Representation At Landlord Tenant Board

The biggest mistake most landlords and tenants make is thinking they understand the process and the rules of the Landlord Tenant Board. The Residential Tenancies act is quite complicated, and when at the board, one party is severely disadvantaged if they are representing themselves and the other side is represented by an experienced licensee. It is also extremely important to make sure your side is abiding by the strict rules of the R.T.A. prior to even attending the hearing. It is crucial that all proper notices, deadlines and applications are followed to the letter, otherwise your application may be dismissed. And with the reality that hearings can take up to 6 months to be scheduled, the stakes at the LTB are higher than ever.

Frequently battles are won or lost before the actual hearing.
