BUILT FOR PETERBOROUGH’S LTB
Peterborough Landlord Cases Are Filed Through The Central East LTB Region
Peterborough is one of the largest rental markets in Ontario, and LTB applications for Peterborough properties are processed through the Peterborough Landlord and Tenant Board region — one of the busiest in the province. Hearing wait times and scheduling patterns at this tribunal require a team that files regularly and knows what to expect at each stage.
Stonegate handles N4 notices, N8 notices, N12 notices, and N13 notices for landlords across Ontario. See how the process works.
Our team handles Central East LTB files every week. We know the current adjudicator tendencies, the documents that get applications sent back for re-service, and the timelines that affect how quickly landlords can recover possession or outstanding rent. From East City to Northcrest, we represent Peterborough landlords across the full spectrum of residential tenancy matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Peterborough landlord questions
Do you handle Peterborough landlord cases specifically?
Yes. We file LTB applications for Peterborough properties regularly. Peterborough cases go through the Central East LTB Region, and we file there routinely.
What is your fee structure?
We charge flat fees, quoted upfront before you sign. The fee covers the notice, filing, and hearing representation for your matter type.
Do you represent tenants?
No. We are a landlord-only firm. We never represent tenants, which means our advice is never diluted by conflicts of interest.
How long does an LTB case take in Peterborough?
Timelines vary by application type. Non-payment N4/L1 matters tend to move faster than conduct or own-use applications. We’ll give you realistic timelines when we review your file.
Can I book a free consultation?
Yes. We offer a free 20-minute call to review your situation and tell you whether we can help. Use the button below to book.
How do I evict a tenant for non-payment of rent in Peterborough?
Start by serving an N4 notice — the Notice to End a Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent. If the tenant does not pay or vacate within 14 days, you can file an L1 application with the Central East LTB. We handle the notice, filing, and hearing from start to finish.
My Peterborough tenant refuses to leave after the tenancy ended — what are my options?
Your options depend on the circumstances. If you need the unit back for personal or family use, an N12 notice may apply. We will assess your situation and identify the correct application through the Central East LTB.
Can I evict a Peterborough tenant for personal use of the property?
Yes. An N12 notice lets you terminate a tenancy if you, a close family member, or a purchaser intends to move in. The tenant receives 60 days notice and one month’s rent as compensation. We prepare and serve N12 notices for Peterborough landlords regularly.
What is an L1 application and how does it work?
An L1 is the LTB application to evict for non-payment of rent and recover arrears. You file it after the N4 notice period expires. We prepare your evidence package, file with the Central East LTB, and represent you at the hearing.
My Peterborough tenant is causing damage or persistent disturbances — what can I do?
An N5 notice addresses conduct issues including property damage. The first N5 gives the tenant 7 days to remedy the problem. A second breach within 6 months opens the door to an L2 application. We will determine the right notice type for your situation.
Can I represent myself at the Peterborough LTB or do I need a paralegal?
You can self-represent, but procedural errors at LTB hearings can invalidate your application or force you to start over. A licensed paralegal understands the rules of evidence, proper disclosure, and how to present your application effectively before the Central East LTB.
Do I need a paralegal or a lawyer for my Peterborough LTB matter?
For most Landlord and Tenant Board matters, a licensed paralegal is the more cost-effective choice and is fully authorized by the Law Society of Ontario to represent you before the LTB.
What happens at a Peterborough LTB hearing?
Both parties present evidence and arguments to a Board adjudicator, who may issue an order on the day or reserve their decision. We prepare your disclosure package, organize your evidence, and argue your case at the Central East LTB.
What if my Peterborough tenant files a T2 or T6 application against me?
Tenants can file counter-applications for maintenance issues (T6) or interference with reasonable enjoyment (T2). These are typically heard alongside your application. We handle the response and defend your position.
How do I properly serve a notice to a Peterborough tenant?
Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act has strict rules for how notices must be served. An error in method, timing, or address can void the notice entirely. We prepare and serve notices for Peterborough landlords so it is done correctly from the start.
What evidence do I need for a Peterborough LTB hearing?
Arrears cases need a lease, rent ledger, and payment records. Conduct or damage cases benefit from photos, incident logs, and third-party reports. We will give you a specific evidence checklist when we assess your file.
Can I recover costs from my Peterborough tenant?
The LTB does not typically award paralegal fees, but you may recover the LTB filing fee and costs in cases of unreasonable tenant conduct. We will advise what is recoverable during your consultation.
