The Ontario Landlord Playbook (Tips & Systems)

These are the habits and systems that reduce tenant problems, improve rent collection, and protect you if things go to the LTB. If you want this implemented professionally, book a consultation and we’ll build the process around your property and tenant profile.

1) Tenant Screening (First Line of Defense)

Use one consistent application and process for every applicant.
Verify income, employment, and identity—don’t rely on “good vibes”.
Call references directly and confirm rental history with details.
Look for story inconsistencies (timelines, job, move reason, urgency).

2) Rent Collection & Arrears

Set expectations from day one (due date, payment method, documentation).
Track payments with a clean rent ledger and save all messages.
When rent is missed: act fast, keep it professional, and document everything.
Learn the N4 process (and avoid common mistakes that delay outcomes).

3) Documentation & Compliance

Write everything down. If it isn’t documented, it’s harder to prove later.
Use inspection notes/photos and keep records organized by date.
Respond to repair requests reasonably and keep a repair log.
Don’t “wing it” with notices—one mistake can reset the process.

Ontario Landlord FAQs

What’s the best way to avoid non-payment of rent?

Strong screening, clear onboarding expectations, consistent documentation, and fast action when rent is missed. If you’re currently dealing with arrears, a consultation can help ensure you’re taking the correct steps and not delaying the process.

When should an Ontario landlord serve an N4?

When rent is unpaid and you need to begin the formal process. Timing and accuracy matter—mistakes can cause delays. See our N4 guide above or book a consultation if you need case-specific strategy.
