Rent Collection & Arrears Recovery Ontario

We help Ontario landlords recover unpaid rent and arrears through L1 Applications at the Landlord and Tenant Board. Whether your tenant has stopped paying rent, issued NSF cheques, or is persistently late, our licensed paralegals pursue every remedy available under the Residential Tenancies Act.

L1 Application for Unpaid Rent

The L1 Application to Evict a Tenant for Non-payment of Rent and to Collect Rent Owed is filed after a valid N4 notice period has expired. The LTB can order eviction and payment of all arrears.

Persistent Late Payment

If a tenant persistently pays rent late, a landlord may serve an N8 Notice and file an L2 Application at the LTB. A pattern of late payment can support a termination order even when rent is eventually paid.

NSF Cheques and Returned Payments

NSF cheques constitute non-payment of rent under the RTA. Landlords may serve an N4 and proceed with an L1 application after an NSF payment.
