What is required to apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board to determine if a tenancy is covered under the Residential Tenancies Act?

The A1 – Application About Whether the Act Applies would be filed with the Landlord and Tenant Board either by a landlord or tenant. The application is used to determine whether the Residential Tenancies Act applies to a particular rental unit or situation. The process for filing such an application involves the following steps:

  1.  An A1 Application must be completed and filed with the Landlord and Tenant Board. The application must contain details about why the applicant believes the Residential Tenancies Act does or does not apply.
    • The applicant must pay a $53 filing fee to have the application processed and hearing date scheduled.
    • The Landlord and Tenant Board will issue a Notice of Hearing and a copy of the A1 application to all parties.
  2. An adjudicator will preside at the hearing. These hearings are generally conducted in person.
  3. Once the adjudicator has heard the parties and reviewed any evidence that may be offered, a decision may be announced at the hearing. Generally, the parties to the application will receive the Board’s written decision or order by mail.
