Landlord and Tenant Board, has many offices across Ontario The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing operates the Landlord and Tenant Board that regulates all residential Landlord/Tenant matters in Ontario. You cannot contract outside the law. You must use their forms for most notices. You can only get an eviction order through the Board and you must sue an existing tenant for damages or rent arrears through the Board. All the forms for rent increases, evictions, and applications to the Board can be downloaded for free from their web site. They change so often you should always download the current copy of the form you want to use (e.g. N5, N1, N4, etc.). Forms are downloaded in a pdf format and you require a free copy of Acrobat Reader to print them. You can call 1-888-332-3234 to order printed copies or use the link above. You can pick up individual copies of the forms and general information at any of their many Landlord and Tenant Board offices and many Drivers License Offices across the province. You can also fax forms back and forth to them. I suggest that you purchase your own copies of the Act, Regulations, Interpretive Guidelines and Rules. You can now use credit cards to pay for their publications and application fees. They have gone very public with their information. Your tenants have no problem learning their rights.

This is the Provincial landlord’s organization. They do a lot of research and have launched several high profile and very expensive legal challenges to different pieces of legislation.
