Hearings at the LTB
Hearings at the Landlord & Tenant Board
Once a notice and application are filed, everything turns on the hearing. Preparation and advocacy make the difference between dismissal and a decisive order. Our paralegals build the case, prepare you for questioning, and argue your position with precision.
How We Handle Hearings
Evidence Packages
We assemble rent ledgers, proof of service, correspondence, photos, and witness statements into clean, indexed evidence packages delivered to the Board and tenant in advance.
Landlord Preparation
You'll know what to expect. We prep landlords for testimony, review anticipated questions, and ensure your answers are focused and credible.
Hearing Advocacy
At the hearing, our paralegals present the case clearly, cross-examine tenants and witnesses, and highlight inconsistencies in the other side's story.
