Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the RTB and LTB?

The Residential Tenancy Branch (RTB) handles landlord and tenant disputes in British Columbia. The Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) handles them in Ontario. Each province has its own tribunal or board with different forms and procedures. Court RP automatically identifies the right one for your province.

How do I evict a tenant in Canada?

The process depends on your province and the reason for eviction. In BC you serve a Notice to End Tenancy (10-Day, 1-Month, 2-Month, or 4-Month depending on the ground) and then apply to the RTB if the tenant does not leave. In Ontario you serve an N-series notice and then file with the LTB. Court RP walks you through the correct process for your province.

Can a landlord evict me for no reason in Canada?

No. Canadian residential tenancy law requires a valid reason for eviction in every province. Common grounds include non-payment of rent, damage to the property, or the landlord requiring the unit for personal use. An eviction without a valid ground can be challenged at your province's tribunal.

How long does a landlord tenant dispute take?

Hearing timelines vary by province and backlog. RTB hearings in BC are typically scheduled within 3 to 8 weeks of an application. Ontario LTB hearings have faced significant delays in recent years. Court RP helps you prepare a thorough application so your case proceeds as smoothly as possible.
