Legal Help Serving Ontario
Last Updated: August 22 2026
Question: What should a landlord or tenant in Ontario do before their first hearing at the Landlord and Tenant Board to avoid delays and protect their rights?
Answer: Paladin LLP helps Ontario tenants and landlords prepare efficiently for Landlord and Tenant Board matters by reviewing the Residential Tenancies Act rules, the LTB process, and relevant tribunal guidance so you know your rights and obligations before the next step. I can help you organize documents, understand what evidence and timelines matter, and take cost-effective actions for issues like eviction notices, rent arrears, repair requests, and damage or conduct disputes. If you have a hearing coming up, call (289) 925-1572 for a no-obligation consultation so you can start on the right track without delay.
Providing Legal Help In Disputes Between Landlords and Tenants
Ontario has many administrative tribunals, but few of them can match the impact of the Landlord and Tenant Board (the ”LTB”). For tenants it is the family home. For landlords, it is a major investment. Like many administrative tribunals, relatively few appearances at the LTB determine the outcome. The LTB has its own set of rules, guidelines and processes and a very expensive appeal process which makes each appearance and each step critical. To be successful, you need knowledge and to make effective and economical use of that knowledge.
What Is Your Issue?
Do you have an eviction notice for own use? for nonpayment of rent? do you need to collect rent? Deal with damage? uncontrolled pets? Feuding Tenants? Landlord refusing to make necessary repairs? Call me.
For Landlords and for Tenants
I provide you with peace of mind. I observe the changes in the Residential Tenancies Act (the RTA”) and the Court interpretations of those changes to protect and inform you. You will know your rights and obligations.
Where Can I Find Out More?
The best step would be to call me at (289) (925) 1572 or email me at bruce@courtrep.ca and book a no obligation consultation. More information is available on our resource page Resources including an article on the relatively new standard lease and links to the LTB site itself, which also provides guidebooks, practice directions and interpretative guidelines.
NOTE: A significant quantity of inquiries featuring “lawyers near me” or “best lawyer in” typically signifies a demand for prompt and proficient legal assistance instead of a particular job title. In Ontario, duly licensed paralegals are governed by the same Law Society that regulates lawyers and are permitted to represent clients in specific litigation matters. Advocacy, legal interpretation, and procedural expertise are fundamental aspects of this role. Paladin LLP provides legal representation within its licensed parameters, focusing on strategic positioning, evidence preparation, and compelling advocacy aimed at securing effective and advantageous outcomes for clients.
