Lawyers vs. Paralegal?

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 $35,000, 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. Call us for a free 15- minute consultation.
