Ravi was extremely insightful and informative on helping me deal with our tenant issue!

I cannot recommend Andrew McMaster highly enough. From start to finish, the level of professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care exceeded my expectations.

They took the time to explain everything clearly, were incredibly thorough and detail-oriented, and always made me feel supported throughout the process. Communication was prompt, transparent, and reassuring, which made a stressful situation much easier to navigate.

Samina Ashraf

Background - Stonegate Legal Services helped me with the N11 lease-end process with a challenging tenant. Would like to appreciate my Thanks to Anome Mehrabian for her professional service, knowledge, meticulous paperwork, and prompt responses.

Bhaskar Bhattacharyya

I had a quick consult call with Stonegate and based off of this, I would recommend them to any landlord needing guidance and legal services. I appreciated that they reviewed my notes prior to the call so we could dive right into the nitty gritty of my situation.

Leila Nattagh

Ravis was phenomenal! She was knowledgeable and took the time to explain areas where we had additional questions. It was an added benefit that she understood the language the tenant spoke and was able to call ‘bs’ on them during the hearing. Thank you, Ravis. I hope we never have to go through this again, but if we do I know who to call.

Sara Wood

My dealings with Stonegate and particularly with Berkan were excellent. I was dealing with a tenant who would not voluntarily leave so that I could sell my property, and Berkan offered excellent options and advice all the way through the process.

John Skovsgaard

I used stonegate recently to draft a cash for keys agreement and to file N11. They are very professional and responsive. The process was smooth and got my order within a week of filing. Berkan Altun provided excellent services.

Srinivas Jonnavittula

I used Stonegate Legal Services, with my issue with my tenant. I would like to say, that Stonegate Legal Services is a really top notch company, and I was very pleased with them. They handled everything from start to finish.

Frequently asked questions

Can I increase my tenant’s rent?2026-07-07T10:40:57-04:00

Rent increases in Ontario must comply with the Residential Tenancies Act, including notice requirements and, where applicable, the annual rent increase guideline.

Can I evict a tenant for disturbing other tenants?2026-07-07T10:41:59-04:00

If a tenant substantially interferes with the reasonable enjoyment of others, damages the property, or engages in other misconduct, there may be grounds to serve an N5 Notice.

What happens if my tenant damages the property?2026-07-07T10:39:39-04:00

Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to serve the appropriate notice and seek compensation through the Landlord and Tenant Board.

Can a tenant refuse to leave after receiving an N12?2026-07-07T10:42:14-04:00

Tenants do not have to vacate a property after receipt of the N12, and they have the right to avail themselves of a hearing. Only the LTB can issue an order determining whether or not a tenancy comes to an end. 

What is a cash-for-keys agreement?2026-07-07T10:41:46-04:00

A cash-for-keys agreement is a voluntary agreement where the landlord offers compensation in exchange for the tenant agreeing to move out by a specific date.

What is an N12 Notice?2026-07-07T10:37:41-04:00

An N12 Notice is used when the landlord, a purchaser, or certain family members intend to move into the rental unit, provided the legal requirements are met.

What is an N4 Notice?2026-07-07T10:36:59-04:00

An N4 Notice is the notice used when a tenant fails to pay rent. It allows the tenant to pay the outstanding rent or move out before an application is filed.

Can I evict a tenant for not paying rent?2026-07-07T10:35:48-04:00

Yes. If rent is unpaid, you may be able to serve an N4 Notice and apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board if the rent remains unpaid.

How long does it take to evict a tenant in Ontario?2026-07-07T10:34:51-04:00

The timeline varies depending on the type of application and Landlord and Tenant Board scheduling. We can explain the current process during your consultation.

Do you attend Landlord and Tenant Board hearings?2026-07-07T10:30:43-04:00
