QUESTION: If tenants have moved out and you have a LTB order you wish to collect by garnishment. Do you need the tenants current residential address?
ANSWER : In the jurisdiction of Ontario, if you wish to collect on a Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) order through garnishment, having the tenant’s current residential address is crucial. To initiate garnishment proceedings, you must serve a Notice of Garnishment on the garnishee (usually the tenant’s employer or financial institution). This requires detailed information about the tenant, including their current address. Legal documents, including the Notice of Garnishment, must be served correctly to ensure that the garnishment is valid and enforceable. Without the tenant’s current address, proper service of these documents becomes challenging.
