The Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) is the adjudicative tribunal responsible for resolving disputes under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (RTA). It handles applications from both landlords and tenants across Ontario.
LTB hearings are conducted via videoconference (Zoom), telephone, or occasionally in person. The process involves filing applications, serving documents, submitting evidence, and appearing before a Member to argue your case.
While the process may look informal, decisions carry the force of law — including eviction orders, rent repayment orders, and rent abatements. Getting the procedure right matters.
