As we all know L&T Board for Ontario is not very landlord friendly. You can only take a deposit towards last month`s rent. It can`t be used for the gazillion damages they might do and any bills they leave unpaid etc. following them around in courts trying to get justice is a costly affair and usually futile as you can get a judgment but that doesnt mean the tenant ill pay you really.
and now they have increased the fee for the Eviction application form from $150 to $170! who controls this board and how can we as investors try to make them a little better for landlords! its like we`re at the Tenants mercy or the L&T Board`s.
You can`t raise rents more than a measly 1.8% (if at all) this yr but they can increase the fee by almost 14%!!!??? That just doesnt make any sense.
Who do we appeal to / write to to try and get some changes favoring the landlords-faster evictions, fairer practices, lesser costs for us-judgments from the board directly instead of going to courts separately....
