Ontario Landlord Questions We Help With

Ontario landlords often face urgent legal questions when dealing with non-payment of rent, eviction notices, and Landlord and Tenant Board delays. Below are some of the most common landlord issues we help resolve.

Which N form do I need to evict a tenant in Ontario?

The correct N form depends on the reason for eviction. For example, N4 is used for non-payment of rent, while N5 applies to disturbances or damage. Filing the wrong notice can significantly delay eviction.

What is the difference between an N4 and an L1?

An N4 is a termination notice served to the tenant for non-payment of rent. An L1 is the application filed with the Landlord and Tenant Board after the N4 notice period expires.

How long does eviction take in Ontario right now?

Eviction timelines vary depending on the Landlord and Tenant Board backlog. In many areas, hearings may take several months. During a consultation, we provide realistic timelines based on current LTB processing delays.

What should I do if my tenant is not paying rent?

Landlords typically begin by serving an N4 notice. If rent remains unpaid, an L1 application may be filed. We guide landlords through each step to avoid procedural errors that can delay eviction.

Can I collect rent after a tenant has moved out?

Yes. In certain cases, landlords may file L7 or L9 applications to recover unpaid rent even after the tenancy has ended.

Can eviction be delayed if I file the wrong form?

Yes. Filing the incorrect notice or application is one of the most common reasons eviction cases are delayed or dismissed at the LTB. This is why proper legal review is critical before filing.
