Our Expertise in LTB Disputes

Evictions and Rent Arrears

If you’re a landlord seeking eviction for unpaid rent or lease violations, we help you file the correct forms, meet procedural deadlines, and represent you at the hearing.
For tenants, we advocate against unlawful evictions and negotiate repayment or settlement terms that protect your housing security.

 

Maintenance and Repair Disputes

Tenants have a legal right to safe, well-maintained housing. We handle cases where landlords fail to address necessary repairs, heating, plumbing, or pest control issues.
Landlords, on the other hand, can rely on our team to challenge unjust maintenance claims and protect their property interests while staying compliant with Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act.

 

Lease Terminations and Agreement Enforcement

From non-payment of rent to early lease terminations, we represent clients in all forms of tenancy agreement disputes. We draft and review lease agreements that are legally sound, ensuring long-term peace of mind for both parties.

 

Representation for Landlords

We assist landlords in navigating the complexities of the LTB process — from filing eviction notices to representing them during hearings and appeals. We help landlords maintain professionalism while ensuring that their financial interests are safeguarded under Ontario law.

 

Representation for Tenants

Tenants facing eviction, harassment, or poor living conditions often feel powerless. Our firm empowers tenants by representing them before the LTB, ensuring their rights are upheld, and providing legal recourse when their living standards are compromised.
