What Is the Landlord and Tenant Board?
The Landlord and Tenant Board resolves disputes between landlords and tenants under Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. Matters often involve notices, applications, rent issues, maintenance concerns, evictions, and compliance with legal obligations.
The process can feel accessible on the surface, but errors in forms, service, evidence, or deadlines can seriously affect the outcome. Issa Legal Services helps clients prepare carefully and present their case with confidence.
