Frequently Asked Questions

If you receive an eviction notice, it’s important to review the notice for legal validity and contact us immediately. We can help you understand your rights and options, which may include contesting the eviction if it is unjustified.

Landlords should follow a specific legal process which includes issuing a properly formulated notice to end tenancy for non-payment of rent, allowing tenants time to pay, and possibly applying to the LTB for an eviction order if the rent remains unpaid.

Tenants have the right to live in a well-maintained property where the landlord performs all necessary repairs and regular maintenance. Tenants can apply to the LTB if landlords fail to meet these obligations.

Withholding rent can lead to eviction proceedings. Instead, tenants should file a complaint with the LTB, which can order repairs, rent abatements, or other remedies.

During an LTB hearing, both parties present their evidence and arguments to a board member, who will then make a decision based on the Residential Tenancies Act and the evidence presented. Having effective legal representation is crucial to navigating this process successfully.
