Frequently Asked Questions
How do I file with the LTB?
File online through the Tribunals Ontario portal. Choose the correct form (L1 for rent arrears, T2 for tenant rights, etc.). Pay the filing fee. The LTB schedules a hearing.
How long does the LTB process take?
Currently 2-6 months for most matters due to backlogs. Non-payment cases may be faster. Complex cases take longer. Urgent matters can request expedited hearings.
Do I need representation at the LTB?
Not required, but strongly recommended. The other side often has representation. Professional help significantly improves outcomes and reduces stress.
How long will my LTB case take?
Current processing times vary 3-12 months depending on application type and urgency. We work to move your case forward as efficiently as possible.
