Frequently Asked Questions
When can I apply for a rent reduction?
You can apply if your landlord has discontinued or reduced services or amenities that were part of your rental: parking, laundry, storage, gym, pool, security, cleaning services, cable/internet, or appliances that were included in rent.
How much can rent be reduced for lost services?
The reduction should reflect the value of the lost service. For parking, this might be $50-150/month. For laundry facilities, $20-40/month. The LTB considers what you'd pay to replace the service and the proportion of your rent it represents.
Can I get a rent reduction for building under construction?
Possibly, if the construction significantly impacts your enjoyment (noise, dust, lost amenities, reduced access). Document the disruption carefully. However, necessary maintenance doesn't automatically entitle you to reduction if done reasonably.
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.
