Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do if my landlord won't make repairs?
Document the issues in writing, notify your landlord, and allow reasonable time for repairs. If ignored, file a T6 application with the LTB. The Board can order repairs, rent abatement for the period of disrepair, and reimbursement for costs you incurred.
What repairs is my landlord responsible for?
Landlords must maintain the property in a good state of repair, comply with health and safety standards, and ensure vital services (heat, water, electricity). This includes structural issues, plumbing, heating, electrical systems, and pest control.
Can I get a rent reduction for maintenance issues?
Yes, the LTB can order rent abatement (reduction) to compensate for living with disrepair. The amount depends on severity and duration. Major issues like no heat or water can result in significant abatement; minor issues receive smaller awards.
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.
