Landlord and Tenant Representation at the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB)

Navigating residential tenancy disputes can be complex and overwhelming for both landlords and tenants. At Jahanshahi Business Law Firm, we provide experienced legal representation at the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB), ensuring your rights and interests are protected throughout the process.

Our Expertise in Residential Tenancies

We have a deep understanding of Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) and the procedures of the Landlord and Tenant Board. Whether you are a landlord facing problematic tenants or a tenant dealing with unfair treatment, our firm is dedicated to offering sound legal advice and effective representation.

Landlord Representation

As a landlord, ensuring that your rental property is managed smoothly is critical to your success. When issues arise—such as unpaid rent, property damage, or lease violations—swift and decisive action is often needed to protect your investment. We represent landlords in all types of disputes, including:

  • Evictions for non-payment of rent, lease violations, or other breaches
  • Lease enforcement and rent collection
  • Addressing tenant damage to the property
  • Applications for above-guideline rent increases
  • Defense against tenant claims, including illegal rent increases and maintenance complaints
  • Mediation and negotiation to resolve disputes without lengthy hearings
  • Preparation of legal documents such as Notices of Termination, eviction applications, and settlement agreements

Tenant Representation

Tenants also have strong protections under Ontario law, and sometimes these rights are not respected by landlords. If you are a tenant facing issues such as unlawful eviction, maintenance problems, or other breaches of your lease agreement, we can help. Our tenant services include:

  • Fighting unlawful evictions
  • Disputing rent increases or illegal charges
  • Enforcing maintenance and repair obligations
  • Challenging illegal lease terms
  • Representing tenants in disputes over privacy rights, quiet enjoyment, or retaliatory actions
  • Assisting with rent abatement applications due to lack of repairs or services
  • Mediation and negotiation to avoid costly litigation
