Acquiring an investment property is the easy part—managing it and understanding your legal obligations is where the real work begins. In this episode of the Ontario Landlords series, Kevin Breitner sits down with Rob Di Lisi from Stonegate Legal Services to break down the most common Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) applications filed by tenants.
From maintenance disputes to bad faith claims, we discuss how landlords can protect themselves, the importance of record-keeping, and why treating your rental like a business is the only way to succeed in Ontario’s regulatory environment.
LTB Forms Covered in This Episode:
- T1 (Illegal Deposits): Discusses the risks of collecting more than the first and last month’s rent, including high key deposits and prepaid rent.
- T2 (Tenant Rights & Harassment): Filed when a tenant feels their reasonable enjoyment is being affected or they are being harassed. Landlords can face claims of up to $50,000.
- T5 (Bad Faith Applications): Common with N12 notices for personal use. If a landlord fails to move in for a year or re-rents the unit at a higher price, they may face significant penalties.
- T6 (Maintenance and Repairs): Focuses on the landlord’s obligation to upkeep the property under Section 20 of the RTA, covering everything from appliances to filters and light bulbs.
