Why services provided through the Landlord and Tenant Board can matter in Peterborough

If you are a landlord or a tenant, the services you encounter through the LTB generally fall into a few main areas:

Why our LTB services for landlords can matter in Peterborough

• L3 and L4 matters tied to agreements to terminate or failures to vacate

How the next step is often built in these files

• Landlord and tenant applications under the RTA
• Hearing preparation, evidence, and advocacy
• Mediation and settlement support

Because no two landlord and tenant board files unfold in exactly the same way, the most useful guidance in Peterborough is usually the guidance that is grounded in the actual record, the actual risks, and the actual next decision that matters.
