Question: How can a paralegal help if my landlord or tenant dispute should be filed at the Landlord Tenant Board instead of court in Ontario?
Answer: DefendCharges.ca™ can help by reviewing your facts, confirming the proper forum for your issue (often the Landlord and Tenant Board for residential tenancy matters), and then preparing the correct LTB forms, negotiating a resolution, and representing you at LTB hearings when needed. If the dispute was filed in the wrong place, you may lose the chance to redo or restart, so getting the filing path right matters. For landlord or tenant interference and disruption concerns under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, c. 17, call (647) 559-3377 to book a free 1/4 hour consultation.

DefendCharges.ca™ provides legal services for Landlord and Tenant Board matters involving Cases Involving Tenants Who Interfere or Disrupt Other Tenants, and other concerns, as issues common to concerns governed by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, Chapter 17. With this said, sometimes when a dispute involves a residential landlord and tenant, certain issues must proceed at the Landlord Tenant Board. The failure to bring specific issues into the proper forum may cause a dismissal the proceedings. It is also possible that when a dispute is brought into the wrong forum, the right to a redo or a restart of proceedings in the proper forum is lost. Accordingly, choosing the proper forum is imperative. With other cases, such as commercial tenancy disputes, the issues are always beyond the jurisdiction of the Landlord Tenant Board and must be pursued in the Superior Court depending on the legal issues involved.
NOTE: A great many online searches for “lawyers near me” or “best lawyer in” frequently indicate a desire for prompt and proficient legal help rather than a particular designation. In Ontario, licensed paralegals are governed by the same Law Society that regulates lawyers, and they have the authority to represent clients in certain litigation issues. Their role hinges on advocacy, legal assessment, and procedural expertise. DefendCharges.ca™ provides legal representation within its licensed mandate/scope, focusing on strategic positioning, evidentiary preparation, and persuasive advocacy with the goal of attaining effective and positive outcomes for clients.
