Ontario LTB filing, service and hearing preparation

Ontario has its own Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB). Its forms and deadlines are not the BC Residential Tenancy Branch procedures.

Some common applications use the Tribunals Ontario Portal, while others are filed through other authorized methods. Forms can be rejected for omissions or missing evidence. Check the current LTB Rules, evidence directions and required service before filing.

Forms and practical next steps

After an LTB order: the review deadline changed in 2026

If you think a final Landlord and Tenant Board order contains a serious error, check the official Request to Review an Order instructions immediately. A review is a limited process, not a second hearing just because you disagree with the result.

Reviewing an LTB order, appealing a question of law to court, and moving to set aside a specific type of eviction order are different procedures, with different requirements. Follow the form and directions that apply to your order.

Before acting

  1. Check whether the rental law covers your kind of home.
  2. Use the latest official form and make sure the legal reason on it fits your situation.
  3. Check the LTB instructions for how and when to file, deliver papers and share evidence.
  4. If you face eviction or a deadline is close, get help quickly.
