Landlord and Tenant Board

Residential Tenancies Act, 2006
Adjudicative Tribunals Accountability, Governance and Appointments Act, 2009

Function

The Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) was created by the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA).
The RTA gives residential landlords and tenants rights and responsibilities, and sets out a process for enforcing them. The RTA also sets out the process for resolving non-profit housing co-operative (“co-op”) eviction disputes.

The role of the LTB is to:

Resolve disputes between landlords and tenants through mediation or adjudication.
Resolve eviction applications from co-ops.
Provide information to landlords and tenants about their rights and responsibilities under the RTA.

LTB dispute resolution officers are available to help landlords and tenants, co-ops and co-op members resolve their application by mutual agreement, rather than going to a hearing where a member decides the matter for them.
