The Ontario LTB Process

How an Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board Matter May Proceed

Initial consultation icon

Initial Consultation

We discuss the residential-tenancy matter, review the available notices and documents, and determine whether it may fall within the permitted scope of a Licensed Paralegal.

Application & Case Preparation

Where retained, we review or prepare eligible application materials, organize evidence, and identify the procedural requirements relevant to the matter.

Mediation or Settlement

Mediation may be available for many applications if the parties agree. A neutral dispute resolution officer may help the parties explore settlement, but does not decide the case.
