Rights & LegalSince July 1, 2026, the clock to challenge a Landlord and Tenant Board order has run half as long: a Request to Review must be filed within 15 days of the order's issue date — down from 30 — under new s.209(3) of the RTA, with orders issued before that date keeping the old deadline. Two months in, the mistakes have a p
Rights & LegalSince July 24, 2026, the Landlord and Tenant Board's final orders have been publishing to Ontario's Open Data Catalogue — free, no login, monthly updates, with history filling back to December 2021 in phases. It's the biggest transparency shift the rental market has seen in years, and the most misused tool of the fall:
Screening & ApplicationsLTB orders became public data on July 24, 2026, and the screening question became live the same day: can a landlord look up a prospective tenant's Board history — and act on it? The honest answer has two halves: no law forbids reading a public order, and the Human Rights Code governs every rental decision exactly as it
Rights & LegalA housing co-op looks like a rental building and runs like a small democracy: members instead of tenants, occupancy charges instead of rent, by-laws instead of a lease, and a board — not a landlord — in charge. For property managers, that changes the client, the money, and the eviction machinery entirely: the Co-operat
Rights & LegalYour lease is not where the rules live. A condo tenant is bound by a declaration they never signed — and when they breach it, the corporation doesn't chase them. It charges you, and the charge attaches to your unit ahead of your mortgage. Here's the second rulebook, and the deadline most owners miss by three weeks.
Rights & LegalNot every tenancy has to end at the Landlord and Tenant Board. Ontario law gives landlords and tenants several legal ways to part company without an eviction hearing — the N11 mutual agreement and cash-for-keys deal, the tenant's own N9 notice, assignment, and negotiated moves — each faster than the queue when done rig
Rights & LegalAt the Landlord and Tenant Board, paralegals and lawyers hold the same regulator, the same insurance, and the same right to appear — so the hiring decision isn't about prestige. It's about scope (only lawyers appear at Divisional Court), specialization (LTB-focused paralegals live in that tribunal), and fee structure (
Rights & LegalWhen a landlord won't fix a serious problem, tenants have a route many don't know about: the municipal property standards officer. These bylaw inspectors can order repairs, set deadlines, and even bill the landlord for work the city does itself — and their orders are powerful evidence at the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Moving & SettlingOntario doesn't legally require a move-in or move-out inspection — but skipping one is how landlords lose damage claims and tenants lose deposits. Because Ontario bans damage deposits, an inspection report isn't a deduction tool; it's your evidence at the Landlord and Tenant Board. Here's how to document a rental prope
News & Policy UpdatesAs of July 1, 2026, a rent-arrears repayment agreement filed with the Landlord and Tenant Board must use the Board's official form — no more handwritten deals on the back of an envelope. Here's how the new s.206 rule works: what the mandatory form covers, the section 78 clause that lets a landlord skip a new eviction n
