Can my landlord evict me without a Board order?

In Ontario a tenant generally cannot be forced out without an order from the Landlord and Tenant Board and enforcement by the Sheriff.

Do I have to move out on the date in the notice?

A notice is not an order. It is the start of a process, and you usually have the right to a hearing.

Can a lawyer come to my Board hearing?

Yes. A lawyer or licensed paralegal can represent either a tenant or a landlord at the Board.

What if my landlord will not do repairs?

There is a formal application process at the Board, and keeping written records and photos helps.
