Ready to Talk About Your Case?
Don’t wait until deadlines pass — speak with a licensed paralegal today.
1. Can I stop an eviction after receiving an LTB notice?
Depending on the circumstances, generally, yes — but you must act quickly.
Most Ontario eviction notices give you as little as 5 to 10 days to respond. If you file the right form with the LTB within that period, you can usually pause or challenge the eviction before it becomes final.
A licensed paralegal can help you complete the paperwork, request a hearing, and represent you so your side is heard.
2. How much does it cost to get legal help for my tenant case?
We offer free initial consultations and flat, transparent rates — so you’ll always know the total cost before moving forward.
Most cases (like wrongful eviction or illegal rent increases) are handled for a predictable flat fee, not hourly billing.
3. What happens at an LTB hearing?
At the LTB hearing, both sides present evidence and arguments before a tribunal member.
Our paralegals will:
- Prepare and file all documents
- Represent you during questioning and cross-examination
- Ensure your rights are protected
- Argue for a fair outcome or settlement
4. Can my landlord increase rent illegally?
No. In Ontario, landlords must follow rent control limits set by the province and provide at least 90 days’ written notice before increasing rent.
If the increase exceeds the legal guideline or doesn’t follow the rules, you can file an application with the LTB to dispute it.
5. What if my landlord is harassing me or entering without notice?
That behaviour can violate your right to quiet enjoyment and privacy under Ontario law.
You can file a complaint with the LTB and may be entitled to compensation or other remedies.
Document all incidents (texts, photos, witness statements) and contact a licensed paralegal to discuss your options.
6. How long does it take to resolve a tenant case?
Timelines vary depending on the issue and LTB scheduling, but most cases are filed within days and heard within weeks or months.
Acting quickly helps protect your legal options and avoid automatic eviction orders.
7. Do I need a lawyer or a paralegal for tenant matters?
In Ontario, licensed paralegals are authorized by the Law Society of Ontario to represent tenants in all LTB and Small Claims Court matters.
The paralegals on our team offer extensive experience at a lower cost — ideal for tenant disputes, eviction defence, and rental law issues.
