Question: What legal help can a paralegal provide for Ontario landlord tenant disputes before or at the Landlord Tenant Board?
Answer: Access Ontario Legal Services can help both landlords and tenants in Ontario with Landlord Tenant Board matters like landlord failure to maintain, harassment, and other residential tenancy disputes governed by Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, c. 17. This may include reviewing your facts, preparing Landlord Tenant Board forms, negotiating a resolution, and representing you at Landlord Tenant Board hearings while also helping ensure the issue is brought in the proper forum so you do not lose rights to redo or restart proceedings. If your dispute is outside the Landlord Tenant Board’s jurisdiction (for example, certain commercial tenancy issues), they can help you assess the right next step toward the Superior Court process. Call (905) 302-1851 to discuss your legal rights today.

Access Ontario Legal Services provides legal services for Landlord and Tenant Board matters involving Rent Arrears, Persistently Late Rent Payments, and much more, as issues common to concerns governed by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, Chapter 17. With this said, sometimes when a dispute involves a residential landlord and tenant, certain issues must proceed at the Landlord Tenant Board. The failure to bring specific issues into the proper forum may cause a dismissal the proceedings. It is also possible that when a dispute is brought into the wrong forum, the right to a redo or a restart of proceedings in the proper forum is lost. Accordingly, choosing the proper forum is imperative. With other cases, such as commercial tenancy disputes, the issues are always beyond the jurisdiction of the Landlord Tenant Board and must be pursued in the Superior Court depending on the legal issues involved.
