Frequently Asked Questions
Can I evict a tenant myself without going to the Landlord and Tenant Board?
No. Self-help eviction — such as changing the locks or removing a tenant's belongings without an LTB order — is illegal in Ontario, regardless of the reason for eviction. You must apply to the LTB and get an order, then have it enforced through the Sheriff's office.
What happens if I use the wrong eviction notice form?
Using the wrong form, or a form that doesn't match your actual reason for eviction, is one of the most common reasons LTB applications are dismissed or significantly delayed — it's important to match the form to your specific circumstances.
Do I have to pay compensation to evict for personal use or renovation?
Generally, yes. For an N12 (personal use), compensation equal to one month's rent is generally required. For an N13 (renovation), compensation requirements can also apply depending on the circumstances — these obligations are frequently overlooked.
Does this wizard guarantee my LTB application will be approved?
No. This tool identifies the notice form and documentation factors relevant to your specific situation — it does not guarantee approval, which depends on the Board's assessment of the full evidence and your compliance with all legal requirements.
How long does the eviction process typically take in Ontario?
It varies significantly based on LTB scheduling, whether the tenant disputes the application, and the specific notice type — timelines can range from a few months to considerably longer for contested matters.
