London landlord paralegals who get your property back.

Yes. We file LTB applications for London properties regularly. LTB hearings are held online and we handle them routinely, for landlords across the city from Byron to Old East Village.

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.

No. We are a landlord-only firm. We never represent tenants, which means our advice is never diluted by conflicts of interest.

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.

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.

Yes. We offer a free 20-minute call to review your situation and tell you whether we can help and what it will cost.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. Student houses, rented rooms and converted multi-unit homes make up a large share of London rentals, and most are covered by the Residential Tenancies Act. Leases signed by a group of students need careful handling when only some of them leave or stop paying. 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.

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.

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.

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.
