Where Is the Landlord and Tenant Board Located and How Do I Contact It in Ontario?

If you live in a northern or smaller community such as Timmins, you can usually take part in a Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) matter without travelling to a city. LTB hearings are virtual (by Zoom video or by telephone), written, or in person. In-person hearings are scheduled only on approved accommodation requests.

Filing is also mostly remote. L1, L2, L3, L4, L9, L10, T1, T2, T5 and T6 applications can be completed and filed through the Tribunals Ontario Portal, and most other LTB applications can be filed by email with online payment, or sent by mail or courier. For example, L1, L2, L3, L9 and L10 cost $201, or $186 through the Portal, and T1, T2, T5 and T6 cost $53, or $48 through the Portal. Fees can change, so confirm them before you file.

Which regional office covers your area is worth checking on the Tribunals Ontario website. To change from a written or electronic hearing, you must show that an in-person hearing is needed for a Human Rights Code-related need, or that an electronic hearing would likely cause significant prejudice and an unfair hearing. Parties should join at least 15 minutes early.
