Landlord and Tenant Law in Ontario

Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act governs the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants — and navigating its rules, forms, and timelines can be genuinely confusing. Whether you are a landlord dealing with a difficult tenancy situation or a tenant who feels their rights are not being respected, understanding your legal position is the essential first step.

At Nanra Law, we provide clear, practical guidance for both landlords and tenants. We help you understand your rights, prepare your documentation, and approach the Landlord and Tenant Board with confidence.

How We Can Help

For Landlords

Owning and renting a property in Ontario comes with a set of legal obligations — and when issues arise, the right approach can make a significant difference in how quickly and effectively the matter is resolved. We help landlords take the right steps, in the right order.

Common landlord matters:

  • Non-payment of rent applications (L1)
  • Applications to terminate a tenancy and evict a tenant (L2)
  • Applications related to rent increases above guideline
  • Lease agreement drafting and review
  • Advice on proper notice requirements and timelines
  • Preparing documentation and submissions for LTB hearings

For Tenants

Tenants have significant rights under Ontario law — including the right to a safe and habitable home, protection from unlawful eviction, and the ability to raise issues about rent and maintenance. If you believe your landlord is not meeting their obligations, or if you are facing an eviction you believe is improper, we can help you understand your options.

Common tenant matters:

  • Responding to an eviction notice or LTB application
  • Applications related to maintenance and repair failures (T6)
  • Rent abatement applications (T2, T3)
  • Harassment or interference with reasonable enjoyment (T2)
  • Illegal entry by a landlord
  • Lease review and advice before signing

Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) Process

The Landlord and Tenant Board is the Ontario tribunal that resolves residential tenancy disputes. It has its own forms, timelines, and rules of procedure. We help both landlords and tenants understand what to expect from the LTB process, prepare properly, and present their case clearly.
