LTB award patterns · Ontario · Illustrative

Tenants in Ontario can win
five and six-figure
LTB awards.

The Landlord and Tenant Board orders Ontario landlords to pay their tenants for illegal evictions, above-guideline rent, and unaddressed repairs. The law works. But only if you know what you may be owed.

Figures shown are illustrative threshold ranges based on published LTB and SLASTO ELIS award patterns. Individual outcomes vary widely. Specific case file numbers and decision dates will be added once verified against CanLII / SLASTO.
