File a T6 Application in Ontario
Hold your landlord accountable for repairs
If your landlord is ignoring repair requests or failing to meet Ontario’s maintenance standards, a T6 Application lets you enforce your rights through the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).
Tenants may be entitled to repair orders, rent reductions, or compensation — but filing correctly and presenting strong evidence is critical.
Our Ontario licensed paralegals handle every step of your T6 case, from preparing the application to representing you at the LTB, so your claim is clear, accurate, and strategically presented.

FAQs About Filing an T6 Application in Ontario
Understand Your Rights, Repairs, and the Process Before You File
Filing an T6 Application can feel intimidating — but it doesn’t have to be.
Here, we’ve answered the most common questions Ontario tenants ask about repairs, maintenance standards, and what to expect at the LTB.
If you don’t see your question here, our Ontario licensed paralegals are happy to explain your options during a free case review — no pressure, just honest guidance.
1. What is an T6 Application?
A T6 is a tenant application you file with the LTB if your landlord fails to repair or maintain your rental unit or building as required by law.
It allows you to request repairs, rent reductions, compensation, or reimbursement for expenses you had to pay due to the landlord’s neglect.
2. When should I file an T6 Application?
You should file a T6 after you’ve made reasonable repair requests to your landlord and they’ve ignored, delayed, or refused to fix the issue.
You can also apply if the landlord violates health, safety, or maintenance standards — even if you’ve since moved out.
3. Can I still apply if my landlord fixes the problem after I file?
Yes. Even if the repair is eventually made, you may still be entitled to rent abatement (reduction), compensation for damages, or reimbursement of expenses caused by the delay.
4. Can filing an T6 make my rent go up or cause retaliation?
No. Under Ontario’s RTA, it’s illegal for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant for exercising their rights — including filing a T6 Application.
⚠️Important: If retaliation occurs, it can form the basis for an additional complaint.
5. What kind of evidence do I need for my T6?
Keep copies of all repair requests, emails, photos, videos, inspection reports, or receipts for any repair or cleaning costs you covered.
The stronger your evidence, the more likely you are to win your claim and get compensation.
6. What can I ask for in an T6 Application?
You can request:
- That your landlord be ordered to complete the repairs
- A rent reduction for the time the issue existed
- Compensation for property damage or expenses
- Termination of your tenancy if the issue made your home unsafe or unlivable
7. Can I file if I already moved out?
Yes. You can still apply for compensation within one year of moving out if the issues occurred while you were a tenant.
8. Do I need a lawyer to file an T6?
No, you don’t need a lawyer — licensed paralegals can represent you affordably and are authorized by the Law Society of Ontario (LSO) to handle LTB applications.
Many tenants prefer paralegals because they focus on LTB procedures and know how to present winning evidence.
9. How long does an T6 Application take?
It depends on the LTB’s current backlog.
In most cases, hearings are scheduled within a few weeks to a few months, and urgent health or safety cases may be prioritized.
10. What happens after I file my T6?
The LTB will send a Notice of Hearing and a copy of your application to your landlord.
At the hearing, both sides present evidence, and the LTB will make a binding decision (called an Order) which can include repairs, compensation, or rent reduction.
11. How can a paralegal help me with an T6 Application?
Our paralegals:
- Review your evidence and tell you exactly what remedies to request
- Complete and file your T6 form correctly
- Represent you at the LTB hearing
- Ensure your landlord complies with the LTB’s order
We make the process easy, fast, and affordable — so you can focus on getting your home fixed.
