Landlord and Tenant Lawyers St. Catharines and Welland Landlord and Tenant Assistance Have a Landlord and Tenant Board matter in St. Catharines, Welland, or Hamilton? Not sure what to do and need help? Our firm has lawyers who can assist on Landlord and Tenant Board matters in the area. Our fee for Landlord and Tenant Board matters is $250+HST/hr (for work completed by our Lawyers). Lawyers vs. Paralegal? Lawyers in Ontario have 7 years education prior to licensing, while Paralegals typically have about 2 years education.* Landlord and Tenant Board Scope In Ontario, you can go to the Landlord and Tenant Board for evicting a tenant, requesting that your Landlord complete maintenance, refunds on extra rent paid, increasing the rent you charge your tenants, etc. For anything where the total sought may go over $50,000, you would go to the Superior Court of Justice unless you are willing to waive the excess costs. Where Do I Begin? Some of the most important things to remember are: usually, you have to commence a claim within a limited period of time since the incident. There are various Rules regarding timelines that all parties must adhere to, otherwise you risk the Tribunal making orders against you, including orders to pay the other side costs (ex. legal costs). You may wish to consult a lawyer to decide whether you can represent yourself or prefer to hire a representative. Ontario-Wide Assistance Landlord and Tenant Board matters usually proceed virtually (via Zoom or videoconferencing). We may be able to work on your matter in Ontario even if you are not nearby our offices.** *Education and licensing varies. Lawyer licensing information is current as of 2025. **Subject to conditions.

When faced with a significant claim for security for costs, our experienced litigators can help reduce what the court orders you to pay. Opposing Party sought $128,354.72 in security for costs. We argued that the costs sought were broad and unjustified. The request was unsupported by the level of detail the court expects when such substantial relief is requested. Natalie Posala from our firm was successfully able to have the court lower this to only $10,000 payable by our clients. If you are facing a claim for security for costs, we may be able to help. Contact us: 289-270-7243. Please note: this is not legal advice and every case differs. The results you received in your matter may differ from above.
