Tenant Not Paying Rent

Your tenant stopped paying — we file the notice, the application, and represent you at the LTB

When a tenant stops paying rent, the clock starts the moment you serve a valid N4 notice. That notice must state the exact amount owing, the correct termination date, and be served properly under the Residential Tenancies Act. Get any of that wrong and the notice is void — you start over. Most landlords who come to us have already lost weeks trying to handle it themselves.

Stonegate handles non-payment files for Ontario landlords every week. We prepare and serve the N4 notice, file the L1 application to terminate the tenancy and recover the arrears, and represent you at the LTB hearing. Flat fee. No surprises.

Learn about the N4 Notice — the first step in the eviction process for non-payment of rent. See How It Works to understand what Stonegate does from first call to final order.

How we help Ontario landlords

Non-Payment of Rent Icon

Non-payment of Rent (N4)

Every month you wait is rent you may never recover. We draft, file, and represent you on your N4 application from notice to hearing.

Landlord’s Own Use and Sale Icon

Personal Use (N12)

Bill 97 tightened the rules. One misstep delays your sale or move-in by six months. We prepare the N12 correctly from the start.

Tenant Conduct and Property Damage Icon

Persistent Late Rent (N8)

Chronic late payers get treated as grounds for termination. We take it to hearing and build the pattern-of-conduct record you need.

Cash-for-Keys and Negotiated Move-Outs Icon

Cash-for-Keys

Often the fastest path to vacant possession in Ontario. We draft, negotiate, and document the agreement so it holds.

LTB Hearings and Representation Icon

LTB Hearings

We prepare the file and argue your case at the LTB. You show up — or in many cases, you don’t have to.

Judgment Enforcement Icon

Post-Order Collections

Winning is half the file. After your order issues, we garnish wages, bank accounts, and file L10s to enforce what you’re owed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tenant Not Paying Rent — Questions

Do you handle non-payment files for landlords across Ontario?

Yes. We file LTB applications for Ontario properties regularly. Toronto cases go through the LTB regional office, 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 a non-payment eviction take in Ontario?

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.

Ready to start the eviction process?
