Welcome

The Residential Tenancies Act (the RTA) came into effect on January 31, 2007.   The RTA sets the rules for most residential rental housing in Ontario.  The previous legislation, known as the Tenant Protection Act, (TPA) is no longer in effect.

The Landlord and Tenant Board’s role is to provide information about the RTA and to resolve disputes between most residential landlords and tenants. The Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal is now known as the Landlord and Tenant Board.

ATTENTION

New Fee for Landlord Applications

As of April 6, 2009, the fees for landlord applications for evictions and for applications to collect arrears was raised from $150 to $170 per application.  The fee for all other applications remains the same.
