Brampton eviction paralegals, on the landlord’s side only

Every file gets a notice review before it is served. One error restarts the clock, so we catch it first.

Non-payment of rent (N4)By far the most common matter for Brampton landlords, and often the most urgent. Many owners rent out the basement of the home they live in, so when that tenant stops paying the hit to the mortgage is immediate. Getting the rent amount, the void period and service right the first time is essential, because one mistake restarts the 14-day clock. We draft, file and represent you from notice to hearing.Learn more →Personal use (N12)Many Brampton owners bought with a family member in mind: a parent, an adult child or a sibling who needs a place to live. When that need becomes real, the N12 has to be handled carefully. We prepare it with the correct compensation, advise on timing and represent you if the tenant disputes it. Bill 97 tightened the requirements, so the details matter.Learn more →Persistent late rent (N8)A tenant who pays, but always late, is one of the most frustrating situations a Brampton landlord faces. Where the pattern is consistent, you may have grounds to terminate for persistent late payment. We track the pattern, prepare the N8 notice and file the L2 application, with the precise record of each late payment the hearing needs.Learn more →Cash-for-keysBought a property with a tenant already in place? If the tenancy works, no problem. If there are arrears, damage or a conflict with the new owner, you need to know which notices you can serve and when. Where a hearing isn’t the best route, we negotiate and document a cash-for-keys agreement that gets you vacant possession.Learn more →Demolition & repairs (N13)Planning a demolition, a conversion to another use, or repairs so extensive the unit must be vacant? We prepare the N13 correctly, advise on the compensation and right of first refusal that may apply, and file the L2 application.Learn more →T2 & T6 defenceWhen a tenant files a maintenance or harassment application, the response strategy matters. A T2 or T6 hearing can carry real financial consequences, including rent abatements and administrative fines. We build your defence, gather the evidence and represent you at the LTB.Learn more →Notice review & re-serviceThe LTB is high-volume, and applications with errors (a wrong rent figure, an improper service method, an incorrect notice period) get returned. That costs weeks. We review every Brampton notice before it is served and fix the issues that lead to re-service.Learn more →Rent owed after move-out?Most landlords want to know if it’s worth chasing. On the free call we’ll look at the amount and the tenant’s situation and give you a straight answer, before you spend a dollar. That includes Brampton landlords whose tenant has already moved out owing a significant balance.Learn more →

“Berkan Altun has been a Godsend during my nightmare tenant situation. He has been responsive, professional and represented me so well during our hearing at the Landlord Tenant Board. After 4 months of a non-paying tenant, Stonegate submitted all necessary notices and guided me along the way. It truly pays off to hire professionals who know exactly what to do in these situations.”

Brampton LTB cases are heard online, and we handle them every week

Brampton has one of the most active rental markets in the GTA, and its LTB files land in one of the busiest dockets in the province. Hearings are held online, so the outcome depends on how well your notice, application and evidence are prepared, not on where your property is.

Volume is the reason defects cost so much here: an application that has to be re-served goes to the back of the line. Our team handles Brampton LTB files every week, and we review every notice before it goes out so the first attempt is the one that counts.

Landlords who file without representation often find themselves dealing with rescheduled hearings, consent orders they did not fully understand, or hearings where they were not ready for the tenant’s arguments. We prepare you for all of it, from the first notice to enforcement.

Brampton’s rental market

Brampton has one of the highest concentrations of basement apartment rentals in the GTA. Many landlords are owner-occupiers renting their lower unit, which changes the dynamics when a tenant stops paying or refuses to leave: you live above the problem, and the rent is often covering the mortgage directly. Older subdivisions in Bramalea and Heart Lake have a large share of these units.

The housing stock is diverse: basement units, detached and semi-detached homes, townhouses and stacked units, from Springdale to Castlemore and from Fletcher’s Meadow to downtown. There are also many landlords with units across several properties, and property managers acting for investors who live elsewhere. We work with all of them on N4, N8, N12 and enforcement matters.

Who we work with in Brampton

First-time and single-unit landlordsYou rent out one condo or a basement suite and have never been to the LTB. We explain every step in plain language and handle the paperwork so nothing is missed.
Investors with several propertiesYou carry mortgages on multiple Brampton units, and a non-paying tenant affects your whole portfolio. We move quickly and keep you updated on every file.
Property managersYou oversee buildings for owners who expect results. We work alongside your team on notices, filings and hearings, with consistent reporting you can pass on.
Owners selling or moving back inYou need the unit back for yourself, a family member or a buyer. We plan the N12 timeline around your closing or move-in date so the paperwork holds up.
Avoid the costly ones

Mistakes that cost Brampton landlords months of time.

Adding non-rent charges to an N4

An N4 can only claim unpaid rent. Including utility bills, damage costs or fees in the arrears figure can sink the notice and force you to start over.

Accepting payment without advice

If a tenant pays everything owing before the N4 termination date, the notice becomes void. Partial payments raise their own questions. Talk to us before you accept money mid-process.

Changing the locks yourself

Self-help evictions are illegal in Ontario. Only the Sheriff can enforce an eviction order. Doing it yourself invites a T2 application, abatements and fines.

An N12 without the paperwork

Own-use applications need good faith, the required compensation and a signed declaration from the person moving in. Gaps here are a common reason N12 files fail.

Losing the paper trail

N8 and T2 hearings are won on records: dated rent ledgers, receipts, texts and emails. If it isn’t documented, it is hard to prove at hearing.

Waiting too long

Every month a non-paying tenant stays is rent you may never recover. The sooner the correct notice is served, the sooner the clock starts.

What to have ready for your
FREE 20-minute call

You don’t need everything. These help us give you a clear answer on the first call.

  • The lease or tenancy agreement
  • A rent ledger showing payments and what is owed
  • Copies of any notices already served

Frequently asked questions

Brampton landlord questions

Do you handle Brampton landlord cases specifically?

Yes. We file LTB applications for Brampton properties every week. Brampton hearings are held online and we handle them routinely, for landlords across the city from Bramalea to Mount Pleasant.

How much does an eviction paralegal cost in Brampton?

We charge flat fees, quoted upfront before you sign. The fee covers the notice, filing and hearing representation. No retainer, no hourly billing, no surprises.

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 Brampton?

Timelines vary by application type. Non-payment N4/L1 matters tend to move faster than conduct or own-use applications. Current LTB wait times will be discussed when we review your file.

What happens if my tenant doesn’t leave after an eviction order?

You can request Sheriff’s enforcement (a Writ of Possession) through the LTB. We handle the enforcement steps after the order issues, including preparing the writ and coordinating with the Sheriff’s office.

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 and what it will cost.

Do I need to attend the LTB hearing in person?

No. LTB hearings are held online, and we represent you at the hearing. In most cases you do not need to appear yourself. We handle the file, present the evidence and advocate on your behalf.

What is the difference between an N4 notice and an L1 application?

The N4 is the notice served on the tenant when they have not paid rent. The L1 is the application filed with the LTB after the N4 void period expires. You need both, and we handle both steps.

Can I evict a tenant for reasons other than non-payment of rent?

Yes. The Residential Tenancies Act allows termination for personal use (N12), chronic late payment (N8), demolition or major repair (N13), and illegal acts. We identify the correct path for your situation.

My tenant filed a T2 application against me. What do I do?

Don’t ignore it. A T2 or T6 is a tenant-filed application alleging harassment, illegal entry or maintenance failure. We build your defence, prepare your evidence and represent you at the hearing.

How do I evict a tenant in Brampton?

In Ontario, a landlord cannot evict on their own. You serve the correct notice for your situation (an N4 for unpaid rent, an N12 for own use, and so on), wait for the termination date, then file the matching application with the LTB. After a hearing, the Board may issue an eviction order. If the tenant still won’t leave, only the Sheriff can enforce it. We handle every step for you.

How do I evict a tenant in Brampton?My Brampton tenant won’t leave. What can I do?

Don’t change the locks or remove their things. In Ontario, only the Sheriff can physically remove a tenant, and doing it yourself invites a T2 and fines. The legal route is the correct notice, then an LTB application, then an eviction order. If they still won’t go, the order is enforced by the Sheriff. We handle it from the notice through the hearing, and coordinate with the Sheriff’s office if it comes to that.

Does an N4 notice automatically end the tenancy?

No. If the tenant pays everything owing before the termination date on the N4, the notice becomes void and the tenancy continues. If they don’t, you still need to file an L1 application and get an order from the Board before the tenancy ends.

Do I need an eviction paralegal or a lawyer in Brampton?

Licensed paralegals are regulated by the Law Society of Ontario and are permitted to represent landlords at the Landlord and Tenant Board and in Small Claims Court. For most landlord-tenant matters, a paralegal team that does this work every day is the efficient, cost-effective choice.

When should I contact a paralegal?

Before you serve any notice. Many of the delays we see come from a defective notice served before the landlord got advice. A free 20-minute call first can save you weeks, and sometimes the cost of starting over.

Can I evict my tenant because I’m selling my Brampton property?

Selling on its own is not grounds to end a tenancy. If the buyer, or a qualifying family member, intends to move in, an N12 can be served for the purchaser’s own use once there is a signed agreement of purchase and sale, but only for buildings with three or fewer residential units. We coordinate the N12 timeline with your closing date.

What if my tenant damaged the unit?

Damage beyond normal wear and tear can be grounds for a notice to end the tenancy, and you can claim the cost of repairs. Photos, invoices and a move-in condition record make a big difference at the hearing. We review your evidence and recommend the right route.

Can I collect unpaid rent after my tenant has moved out?

Sometimes, but for most landlords the amount isn’t worth chasing. On the free call we’ll look at the amount and the tenant’s situation and give you a straight answer, before you spend a dollar.

Do you handle basement apartments in Brampton?

Yes. Basement suites are a large share of Brampton rentals and are generally covered by the Residential Tenancies Act, including when the owner lives upstairs. One exception: if you share a kitchen or bathroom with the occupant, the Act may not apply. We confirm which rules govern your rental on the first call.

Can you guarantee the outcome of my case?

No honest representative can guarantee what the Board will decide. What we promise is careful preparation, correct paperwork and a straight answer about your chances before you spend money on a hearing.

How much can I raise the rent on my Brampton tenant?

Most sitting tenants can only receive one increase every 12 months, with at least 90 days’ written notice on the proper form, and the increase is generally capped at Ontario’s annual rent increase guideline. Units first occupied for residential purposes after November 15, 2018 are generally exempt from the guideline, but the 12-month and 90-day rules still apply. Going above the guideline in a covered unit requires LTB approval.

Can I ask a new tenant for a damage deposit?

No. In Ontario you can collect a rent deposit of up to one month’s rent, which must be applied to the last month of the tenancy, and a refundable key deposit. Damage deposits are not permitted. Screening carefully and documenting the unit’s condition at move-in is the better protection.
