Landlord & Tenant Services

Ontario’s landlord and tenant laws are highly technical. For landlords, even a minor error can mean lost rent, delays, or a dismissed application. At Stewart Legal, we focus on helping landlords navigate the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) efficiently and effectively — while also offering strong representation for tenants where their rights are at risk.

Services for Landlords

Our practice is tailored to the unique challenges landlords face. We provide

  • Lease consultation and compliance reviews
  • Drafting and serving eviction notices
  • Recovery of rental arrears
  • Mediated settlements to save time and cost
  • Applications for landlord’s personal use or purchaser’s own use
  • Applications for landlord’s personal use or purchaser’s own use
  • Termination of tenancy for conversion, demolition, or renovations (very complex matters)
  • Defending against bad faith allegations
  • Cases involving interference with reasonable enjoyment, harassment, or illegal/unsafe acts

Services for Tenants

While our practice is landlord-focused, we also represent tenants when they are subject to unfair treatment. Services include:

  • Bringing bad faith applications where landlords misuse N12 or N13 notices
  • Claims involving harassment, interference, or damages
  • Defending against unsafe or illegal act allegations
  • Negotiating or mediating settlements to protect tenancy

Important: Both parties must agree to participate in mediation. If one party refuses, the matter may need to proceed through litigation.
