Reviews & Reconsideration
LTB Reviews & Reconsideration for Landlords
If the Landlord & Tenant Board makes a serious error or you couldn't reasonably participate in the hearing, a review may be possible. We move quickly to assess grounds, file the request, and advocate for the order to be changed or set aside.
When a Review Makes Sense
Serious Error
Where the decision appears to misapply the law, overlook key evidence in the record, or contain a clear mistake that affected the outcome.
Unable to Participate
If you didn't have a fair chance to present your case — for example due to notice issues, technical problems, illness, or other barriers — the matter may merit review.
Fresh, Crucial Information
Important evidence that genuinely couldn't be obtained for the hearing may justify asking the Board to reconsider the result.
This is general information, not legal advice. Every file turns on its facts and the Board's rules.
