Applications, defences, and hearings before Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board.
The Landlord and Tenant Board is the administrative tribunal with exclusive jurisdiction over applications under the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) – the legislation that sets out the rights and responsibilities of both landlords and tenants in Ontario. D&D Associates Paralegal Professional Corporation has represented Ontario landlords in matters before the Board for over 40 years.

Timelines vary by application type and the Board’s current caseload – non-payment of rent applications are generally scheduled faster than others. Because wait times shift, the best way to get a sense of what to expect for your specific application is to speak with one of our paralegals.
No, landlords can represent themselves. However, LTB matters involve strict notice requirements, timelines, and evidentiary rules, and a mistake on a notice or application can lead to delay or dismissal. Many landlords retain a paralegal for that reason.
Yes. We regularly step in at any stage, whether you’re just about to serve notice or already have a hearing scheduled.
An LTB order can be enforced, including through the Ontario Court Enforcement Office for an eviction, or through other collection steps for amounts owed. We can advise on next steps once an order is in hand.
