Residential Landlord and Tenant Law

We offer various landlord-tenant law services, including legal counsel and assistance with residential tenancy disputes, eviction, Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) hearings, and appeals to the Ontario Divisional Court.

We work with both tenants and landlords. And regardless of which side we’re on, we are committed to achieving the best possible outcome in your housing matter.

Flat Fee Options

All flat fee options are subject to applicable tax and additional terms. We do not accept legal aid at this time.

  • With this option, the firm’s legal professionals will provide one month of assistance as-needed to address your housing matter, provided it falls within the jurisdiction of the LTB. This will include:

    • Legal advice

    • Communication with opposing parties

    • Assistance with LTB filings

    • Assistance compiling and submitting evidence

    • Hearing argument and evidence preparation

    We’ll aim to resolve your matter before it gets to the LTB, if possible (and applicable), by demonstrating to the opposing party the case that awaits them, and potentially negotiating a settlement agreement.

    When a subscription month ends, you can request renewal for another month of service either immediately or as-needed. Subscription months are not automatically renewed.

    This option does not, however, include representation by firm personnel at hearings. For that, see below.

  • With this package, we’ll provide all necessary legal services for appealing an LTB decision to Divisional Court for a flat monthly fee of $3,000.00 (plus tax), renewable on an as-needed basis.

    The subscription month does not include hearing representation or filing fees, which must be paid for seperately.

    (Applicants must first make use of the LTB Appeal Review and Advisory Opinion Package, detailed below, before the firm will take on their case. The cost of this package can be applied against the cost of their first subscription month if the firm accepts their case. Respondents in Divisional Court appeals do not need to make use of the LTB Appeal Review and Advisory Opinion Package.)

  • This option covers representation by an experienced Green Economy Law lawyer at your LTB hearing. It is available on a per-hearing basis. It must be paired with a Subscription Month, which covers all work surrounding and leading up to the hearing.

  • Many landlords and tenants are unhappy with the outcome of their Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) hearing. In such cases, parties can request a review by the LTB itself, and/or they can appeal the decision to the Divisional Court.

    We've found, however, that clients often struggle to understand the basis on which the Divisional Court reviews LTB orders, which can result in considerable wasted time, effort, and money.

    We now offer this flat-fee case review and advisory opinion option, in which we'll review clients' LTB outcomes, and advise them on whether we regard an appeal as worthwhile or not based on our knowledge of the appellate process.

    Note: this option is mandatory for all clients seeking the firm's assistance with filing LTB appeals to the Divisional Court. It is optional for respondents in such cases.

  • This option allows you to speak to a Green Economy Law lawyer for one (1) hour about your housing-related matter and obtain legal advice. It can be conducted by phone, Zoom, or in person.

    Note: We also offer a free 15 minute consultation option with no legal advice for those interested in engaging the firm for legal services. The paid consultation is simply an option for those looking solely for immediate legal advice.
