LTB Hearing Readiness Wizard
A Landlord and Tenant Board hearing is a formal legal proceeding — the outcome depends on the evidence and testimony you actually present. This wizard walks through your case and preparation so far to give you a personalized readiness assessment and evidence checklist, whether you're a landlord or a tenant.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens at a Landlord and Tenant Board hearing?
An adjudicator hears from both parties, reviews the evidence presented, and asks questions before making a decision, either at the hearing or in a written order issued afterward. Both landlords and tenants have the right to present evidence and respond to the other side's case.
Do I need a lawyer or paralegal for an LTB hearing?
It isn't required — many people represent themselves at the LTB — but representation can help, particularly for more complex or contested matters, since procedure and evidence rules still apply even though the process is less formal than a courtroom.
Does this wizard predict how my hearing will go?
No. This tool identifies the preparation factors relevant to your specific situation and helps you organize your evidence — it does not predict the outcome, which depends on the adjudicator's assessment of all the evidence and testimony presented.
What if I miss my LTB hearing?
If you don't attend and haven't arranged an adjournment, the Board can proceed and make a decision without your participation, based only on the evidence the other party presents — this is why confirming your hearing date and format matters.
Can I submit evidence at the hearing that I haven't shared with the other party?
Generally, the LTB expects relevant evidence to be disclosed to the other party in advance — introducing significant new evidence for the first time at the hearing can be challenged or given less weight.
