Landlord and Tenant Board
The Landlord and Tenant Board (sometimes called the LTB or Board) was created on January 31st, 2007 at the same time that the Residential Tenancies Act was introduced. Its purpose is to resolve disputes between tenants and property owners.
The Landlord and Tenant Board is like a court. It works by accepting applications from tenants or property owners who feel that their rights have been violated or who want to enforce obligations created by the RTA or a tenancy agreement. There are three Landlord and Tenant Board offices in Toronto:
·
Toronto South Regional
Office
79 St. Clair Avenue East, Suite 212
Toronto, Ontario M4T 1M6
·
Toronto North Regional
Office
47 Sheppard Avenue East, Suite 700
Toronto, Ontario M2N 5X5
·
Durham Regional Office
(for eastern Toronto)
2275 Midland Avenue, Unit 2
Toronto, Ontario M1P 3E7
