Ontario residential tenancy law
CF Paralegal Services assists landlords and tenants throughout Ontario with advice, preparation, negotiation and virtual representation in residential tenancy matters.
Service scope
The appropriate steps depend on the facts, the applicable legislation, the documents already served or filed and any upcoming deadline or hearing date.
Where appropriate, services may be limited to a defined task, such as a case assessment, document review, drafting, hearing preparation or negotiation. The written retainer will identify exactly what is included.
Full representation may include strategy, drafting, filing, evidence preparation, communication with the other party, negotiation and attendance at the LTB, subject to the agreed retainer.
Ontario-wide virtual service
Because Landlord and Tenant Board proceedings are generally conducted virtually, CF Paralegal Services can assist landlords and tenants in communities across Ontario. Availability depends on conflicts, timing, the nature of the matter and the permitted paralegal scope of practice.
A useful first review usually requires the lease, notices, applications, orders, payment records, relevant messages, photographs, inspection or repair records, and any scheduled hearing dates.
