Landlord and Tenant Board Ontario: Two Doors Into the Same Hearing Room
How the Landlord Tenant Board Ontario works in 2026: what each application costs, how long the LTB takes to reach a hearing, and which form fits your situation.
Residential tenancy problems and commercial leases, handled by lawyers who know the rules on both sides of the door.
Landlord and tenant law is deadline-driven: notices must use the right form, disputes go to the right tribunal, and a missed date can cost months. Whether you are a landlord chasing arrears or a tenant facing an eviction notice, early advice changes outcomes.
