- What happens after a landlord files the Request to Review an Order?
- In situations concerning an eviction order, will the eviction occur if a Request to Review an Order is filed?
- What types of orders can be reviewed?
- How will the other parties be informed?
- What happens if the landlord fails to file the Request to Review an Order within 30 days?
- Under what circumstances can a Request to Review an Order be made?
- A tenant is asking me for consent to sublet her rental unit because of a job transfer which will be for a few months. I have no problem with her subletting but do I have the right to screen the candidates for the sublet?
- My tenant and I agreed to terminate the tenancy and we both signed the Agreement to End the Tenancy (Form N11). When the time came for the tenant to move out he did not leave and because I was out of the country for a few weeks I could not do anything about his failure to leave. What is my recourse now? Can I still enforce the agreement to terminate that we signed?
- If my tenant is not paying rent, can I call the tenant's guarantor?
- I have a hearing at the Landlord and Tenant Board for arrears of rent. The tenant withheld rent for repairs that needed to be done to the floors in the unit. How can we resolve this issue?
- I gave an N4 notice to my tenant for not paying rent. How do I know that they’ve received it if they haven’t told me?
- The police broke the door to my tenant’s unit and I have since been out of contact with him. The tenant has not paid rent since. What should I do at this point?
- My lease states that rent is due on the 15th of the month. The tenant and I verbally agreed to change the rent due date to the 1st. My tenant has not paid rent this month. What date should I put on the N4 notice?
- How can we as landlords protect ourselves with regards to marijuana legalization?
- I served the N12 notice to the tenant's 13-year-old daughter, and I have a proof that the tenant had received it. On the Certificate of Service, what do I check off as to how the notice was delivered?
- Would you be able to refer or provide a list of lawyers who can assist me?
- I recorded a conversation with my tenant. Is this admissible at the hearing?
- Our tenant’s yard is filled with garbage. We have photographic evidence of this. What are our rights as landlords regarding getting this cleaned up?
- Do the same rules regarding ending a tenancy apply whether it’s a fixed-term lease or a month-to-month lease?
- I needed to do some maintenance work in the rental unit, but the tenant found a separate company to do the work and sent me the bill afterwards. What can I do about this situation?
- I currently have major drain work which I need to carry out in my rental property. This is due to the tree roots outside the house which blocked the connection to the city drain. This affects my existing tenant’s ability to use the water & washrooms. I have offered my tenant who is a professional another similar unit without any charge as a way to compensate for the inconvenience. What are my obligations in this circumstance?
- My tenant pays the rent late all the time, what can I do about this?
- I signed a fixed term lease with my tenants, but they have recently notified me verbally that they needed to terminate the lease by the end of this month. They prepaid the full term when they signed the lease agreement. Now, they are requesting a refund for the remainder of the rental period. The problem is that the Condo Board does not allow more than 1 rental within a 12-month period, meaning I am not allowed to rent out my unit to cover the remaining term of the lease. What can I do to handle the situation?
- How do I know how much interest I owe back to the tenant at the end of every year?
- We have obtained a termination date from the Landlord and Tenant Board, and we would like to pre-book the Sheriff for a certain date. Is this possible?
- My tenant and I went to mediation at our hearing and we came to terms that the tenant will move at the end of the month. Is there any special paperwork that needs to be submitted for this?
- My hearing has already been decided, but I want to submit to the Board a police report I just received in the mail. How can I do that?
- I know that the L3 Application requires a signed Affidavit. However, it asks for a signature of a Commissioner and a signature of a Deponent. What do I do with this?
- I have a question regarding the representative of the landlord. According to the Landlord and Tenant Board, the landlord can have a representative representing them with a written consent. Is there a specific format of such consent/authorization?
- I have to file two separate applications at the Landlord and Tenant Board. Can they be combined if I am filing on the Portal?
- If the LTB finds that I need to compensate my former tenant, who has filed a T2 for reasons #3 and #4, could they also charge me, or fine me, and have me pay penalty money?
- I want to bring witnesses to my hearing at the Board, but I would not like their identity to be revealed due to threats of harassment from the offending tenant. Is this possible?
- I am part of a not-for-profit association. It is a private club with paid members. Our property is in the country, and part of our income is from 10 apartments rented by members of the club. Are we covered by the Residential Tenancies Act?
- What are my tenant’s rights if I share a kitchen with them? I currently feel threatened by their presence and would like to know what I can do about the claims that they want to make against me.
- I am the owner of a residential unit. My tenants currently share the kitchen and bathroom with one of my children. Does the Act apply to our situation?
- I currently have two tenants living in my home with me. We share the kitchen, living room, dining area, bathroom, laundry, and parking in the driveway. What type of notice do I need to give the current tenants if I want them to leave while I do renovations?
- My tenant will not allow me to show the unit at the end of their fixed-term lease. What can I do?
- Am I allowed to enter the common areas of a rental unit without giving 24 hours’ written notice?
- A few weeks ago, my tenant had a cooking fire and as a result the house was destroyed. The tenant had no content insurance, my insurance will cover the loss of the house and the income. The tenant wants to know if they are entitled to getting their last month’s rent deposit back. Am I required to return the deposit? Does this fire terminate the lease? Is there any paperwork necessary to terminate the lease? Do I have any responsibilities to the tenant?
- Can I still serve an N5 notice to a tenant for damage if the tenant claims they don’t know how the damage actually occurred?
- Despite having extensive photographic and video evidence at my hearing of the extensive damage caused by my tenants, I don’t think the adjudicator will rule in my favour. What can I do?
- I want to show my unit to potential future tenants, but my current tenants have left the unit in a state of extreme uncleanliness and disrepair. What are my options?
- My tenant just moved out and left behind a huge mess. I hired a professional to clean the unit before a new tenant moves in. Can I deduct the cleaning cost from the previous tenant’s security deposit?
- Can we specify we want the rent to be paid electronically and not by post-dated cheques?
- Are we required to keep the last month’s rent deposit amount in a separate bank account?
- I used a real estate agent to find a tenant. How long do I have to wait before I get the first and last month’s rent from the tenant’s agent?
