A lawyer representing a landlord sought our help with a stalled Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) case. The landlord had been ordered by his municipality to demolish a rental property that was unsafe to live in, and had obtained the necessary permits. The landlord was given an expedited hearing to evict the home’s tenant, but had waited months for the LTB to issue an eviction order. The landlord was told if the house wasn’t demolished by the expiry date on the permit, the municipality would do it, at an additional cost to the landlord.

RESULT: After we flagged the case to staff at the LTB, the eviction order was issued. The lawyer thanked us for helping to resolve the matter quickly.
