Ontario LTB Forms:
Complete List for Landlords and Tenants

LTB Forms Available on the Tribunals Ontario Portal

The Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) handles all residential tenancy disputes in Ontario. Landlords and tenants file applications, notices, and requests through the Tribunals Ontario Portal. Each form has a specific purpose, from eviction notices to rent increase applications to maintenance complaints. Filing the wrong form or using an outdated version can delay your case by weeks or get it dismissed entirely. This page lists every current LTB form organized by category, with direct links to the official Tribunals Ontario Portal. Found Spaces Property Management uses these forms regularly when managing over 650 rental units across Hamilton, Burlington, Kitchener, St. Catharines, and Halifax.

LTB Forms

The latest LTB forms can now be filed on the Tribunals Ontario Portal.

The following forms can all be filed through the Tribunals Ontario Portal. They cover landlord applications (L-series), tenant applications (T-series), and co-operative housing disputes (C-series). Each form is linked to its official filing page where available.

LTB Forms for Landlords

Landlords use LTB forms at every stage of a tenancy dispute. The most common is the N4, which starts the eviction process for non-payment of rent. Other notices include the N5 for property damage or disturbances, the N6 for illegal activity, and the N7 for serious problems in the rental unit. Rent increase notices (N1, N2, N3) must be served with the correct form and proper timing, or the increase is invalid. Once a notice period expires without resolution, landlords file an L-series application to bring the matter before the LTB. The L1 covers non-payment of rent. The L2 covers all other reasons for ending a tenancy. Forms like the L9 (utility arrears) and L10 (money owed by a former tenant) handle specific financial claims. Every form must be filed through the Tribunals Ontario Portal and served correctly to be valid.

LTB Forms for Tenants

Tenants file T-series applications when a landlord isn’t meeting their obligations. The T2 is for requesting a rent reduction when services have decreased, such as a landlord removing laundry facilities or parking. The T6 is for requesting maintenance or repairs the landlord has failed to address. Both forms can result in the LTB ordering the landlord to fix the issue or compensate the tenant. The T1 is used to recover money a landlord owes, such as an illegal rent deposit or charge. The T5 covers bad faith eviction claims, where a tenant believes they were evicted under false pretences. Tenants responding to a landlord’s application do not need to file a separate form. They receive a notice of hearing and can present their case at the hearing directly.

What Ontario landlords and tenants ask about LTB forms

What is the most common LTB form landlords need to file?

The N4, Notice to End your Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent. It is the first step in the eviction process when a tenant falls behind on rent. The tenant has 14 days to pay the full amount owing before the landlord can file an L1 application with the LTB.

How do I file an LTB form in Ontario?

All LTB forms are filed through the Tribunals Ontario Portal at tribunalsontario.ca. You create an account, select the correct form, complete it online, pay the filing fee, and submit. Some forms can also be filed by mail or courier, but the portal is the fastest method.

What is the filing fee for LTB applications?

Filing fees vary by application type. Most landlord applications (L1, L2) cost $201 as of 2024. Tenant applications (T2, T6) cost $53. Fee waiver requests are available for those who cannot afford the fee. Check the Tribunals Ontario Portal for current amounts.

What happens if I serve the wrong LTB form?

The LTB may dismiss your application or refuse to process it. If you served a notice (like an N4 or N5) with incorrect information or used the wrong form entirely, you may need to start the process over with the correct form and a new notice period. This can delay your case by weeks or months.

Can a tenant file an LTB application without a lawyer or paralegal?

Yes. The LTB process is designed for self-representation. Most landlords and tenants file and attend hearings without legal representation. However, you can hire a paralegal or lawyer if you prefer. Duty counsel is available at some LTB hearing locations for free basic legal advice.

How long does it take the LTB to schedule a hearing?

Wait times vary and have been a significant issue in Ontario. As of recent years, standard L1 applications for non-payment of rent can take several months to reach a hearing. Urgent matters may be prioritized. Check the Tribunals Ontario website for current estimated timelines.

What is the difference between an N-series and an L-series LTB form?

N-series forms are notices served directly to the tenant. They inform the tenant of an issue and give them a chance to respond or fix it. L-series forms are applications filed with the LTB to request a hearing. In most cases, a landlord must serve the correct N-form first, then file the corresponding L-form if the issue is not resolved.
