How landlords start a non-payment case at the LTB

This page is a public educational walkthrough. It is not a retainer, a court form, or a promise about your result.

1. Serve a valid notice first

   An L1 generally follows an N4 that was not voided.

2. File with the Board, not only by email to the tenant

   The LTB application starts the case.

3. Bring the rent ledger

   Dates and amounts must match the notice.

4. An order is required before enforcement

   Changing locks without an order is a different legal problem.
