Question 1

How much does it cost to prepare landlord-tenant documents in Canada?

Accepted Answer

BeProSe's Landlord-Tenant Kit costs $49.99 CAD and includes three court-ready documents: a demand letter, a tribunal application, and an affidavit. Single documents are $19.99 each. Your first document is $9.99 — half off the regular $19.99. This compares to $200-500 for a paralegal to draft a single affidavit.

Question 2

What documents do I need for the Landlord and Tenant Board in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

For most LTB applications you need three things: the application form itself (T1 for deposit issues, T2 for landlord interference, T5 for bad faith eviction, T6 for maintenance), a demand letter sent to the other party before filing, and an affidavit with a sworn statement of the facts and your evidence. BeProSe's Landlord-Tenant Kit ($49.99) generates all three documents formatted for the LTB.

Question 3

Can I represent myself at the Landlord and Tenant Board without a lawyer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. According to the Law Society of Ontario, 97.4% of tenants at the LTB are unrepresented. The LTB is designed for self-represented litigants. Adjudicators expect that most people will not have lawyers. The key is being organized: have a clear timeline of events, bring copies of all evidence, and know what specific order you are asking the adjudicator to make.

Question 4

How do I respond to an N12 eviction notice in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

You do not have to move out on the date stated in the N12 notice. You have the right to stay and wait for a hearing at the Landlord and Tenant Board. Your landlord owes you compensation equal to one month's rent, paid before the termination date. At the hearing, the landlord must prove they or their family member genuinely intend to move in. If you believe the N12 is in bad faith (for example, the landlord plans to re-rent at a higher price), bring any evidence of that to the hearing. If you do move out and the landlord re-lists the unit, you can file a T5 application for bad faith eviction compensation.

Question 5

How do I file a complaint about my landlord not doing repairs in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

First, document the issue with dated photos and send your landlord a written request for repairs (email creates a paper trail). Give them a reasonable time to respond. If they do not act, file a T6 application with the Landlord and Tenant Board. You can request a rent abatement (a reduction in rent for the period you dealt with the issue) and an order requiring the landlord to make repairs. The filing fee is approximately $53. BeProSe can generate your T6 application, demand letter, and affidavit through the Landlord-Tenant Kit ($49.99).

Question 6

What is the maximum rent increase allowed in Ontario in 2026?

Accepted Answer

The Ontario rent increase guideline for 2026 is 2.5%. Your landlord must give you at least 90 days written notice on the proper form (N1). If your unit was first occupied after November 15, 2018, there is no rent increase cap. If your landlord wants to increase rent above the guideline, they must apply to the LTB for an Above Guideline Increase (AGI), and you can dispute it at the hearing.

Question 7

Can my landlord charge a damage deposit in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

No. In Ontario, landlords cannot collect a damage deposit or security deposit. The only deposit allowed is a last month's rent deposit, which can only be applied to your final month's rent — not used for damages, cleaning, or repairs. If your landlord collected an illegal deposit, you can file a T1 application with the LTB to get it back.

Question 8

How long does the LTB process take in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

The LTB process typically takes several months from filing to hearing due to a significant backlog. The wait time varies depending on the type of application and current case volume. If you are a tenant facing eviction, you cannot be forced out until the LTB makes an order — use the wait time to prepare your case and organize your evidence.

Question 9

Does BeProSe work for landlord-tenant disputes outside Ontario?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BeProSe covers landlord-tenant disputes in all 13 Canadian provinces and territories. This includes the Residential Tenancy Branch (RTB) in British Columbia, the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service (RTDRS) in Alberta, the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) in Quebec, and equivalent tribunals in every other province. Documents are formatted to each province's specific requirements.

Question 10

Which LTB form do I need to file in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

For tenants: T1 is for getting a rent deposit back or an illegal charge. T2 is for landlord interference, harassment, or illegal entry. T5 is for bad faith eviction (landlord did not move in after an N12). T6 is for maintenance and repair issues. For landlords: L1 is for eviction due to non-payment of rent. L2 is for eviction based on an N-notice. L9 is for collecting rent arrears after a tenant has left. BeProSe can help you determine the right form and generate the supporting documents.
