Frequently Asked Questions
How do I evict a tenant for not paying rent in Ontario?
Step 1: Serve N4 notice when rent is overdue. Step 2: Wait 14 days (tenant can void by paying). Step 3: File L1 application with LTB ($201 fee). Step 4: Attend hearing. Step 5: If successful, enforce eviction order through Sheriff.
Can a tenant stop an eviction by paying rent?
Yes, tenants can void an N4 notice by paying all rent owed within 14 days. Even after an L1 is filed, tenants can often preserve their tenancy by paying arrears before or at the hearing, depending on their payment history.
How long does an L1 eviction take?
From filing to hearing is typically 4-8 weeks. If eviction is ordered and the tenant doesn't leave, Sheriff enforcement adds another 2-4 weeks. Total timeline is usually 2-4 months, though delays are common with current LTB backlogs.
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.
