📅 Book Your Free Strategy CallWhy This Strategy Call Matters
Many landlords struggle silently with tenant issues — non-payment, damage, non-compliance, noise, or refusal to vacate. Without correct legal action, mistakes can cost time, money, and court rejections.
In our 15-minute call, we’ll:
- Understand your situation (tenant, property, timeline)
- Recommend which eviction or LTB path fits best
- Outline steps (notice, documentation, filing) under Ontario’s law
- Answer your questions — free, no pressure
Real Scenarios Landlords Face (and How We Help)
Scenario 1: Tenant not paying rent for 3 months
Landlord served N4 notice, tenant ignored it. We guide you through filing an L1 application, preparing evidence, and representing your case before the LTB.
Scenario 2: Tenant causes damage & refuses to fix
We help you serve the proper N5/N7 notice, document damages, and enforce repair or eviction orders.
Scenario 3: Tenant refuses to vacate after end of lease
Learn how to serve a proper notice (N12, N13, or standard termination), file for eviction, and enforce via the Sheriff if needed.
Common Questions from Ontario Landlords
Q: How long does an eviction through the LTB take?
A: Typically 8–12 weeks, depending on backlog and complexity.
Q: Can I evict a tenant without notice?
A: No — Ontario law requires proper notice, usually an N4 or N5, before filing with the LTB.
Q: Can I increase rent anytime?
A: No — rent can increase only once every 12 months and within the government’s guideline rate.
Q: What if my tenant pays after getting an N4?
A: You can accept the payment, but confirm if the eviction process continues or is withdrawn.
Q: Can I change the locks myself?
A: No — only a Sheriff can enforce eviction after an LTB order.
Q: Can I collect late payment fees?
A: Not unless specified in the lease and compliant with RTA limits.
Q: How do I serve notices legally?
A: By email (if consented), in person, or via mail — not by text or taping to the door.
Q: Can I require post-dated cheques?
A: No, landlords can request but cannot demand post-dated rent cheques.
Q: What happens after a hearing?
A: The LTB issues an order — enforcement must go through the Sheriff’s Office.
Q: Can I terminate tenancy for personal use?
A: Yes, with an N12 notice, compensation, and proof of personal occupancy.
