Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) is in crisis, and landlords are suffering the consequences. Picture this: You rent out your property to what seems like a responsible tenant, only to have them stop paying rent. You follow the legal eviction process, only to find yourself stuck in an endless backlog, waiting months sometimes over a year for a hearing. Meanwhile, your bills pile up, mortgage payments don’t stop, and your financial stability crumbles.
