Every major Ontario LTB form, what it does, what it costs, and a direct link to the official version.
This is a complete, plain-English index of Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board forms — for landlords and tenants — with current filing fees and direct links to the official documents on Tribunals Ontario. I’m Jatin Dua, a Realtor with RE/MAX Quantum Realty working across Etobicoke and Toronto, and I built this because the official site is comprehensive but genuinely hard to navigate when you are stressed and short on time.
2. Rules changed on 1 July 2026. The LTB updated processes, forms and information materials following amendments under the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act (Bill 60) and the Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023 (Bill 97). If you saved a form before then, replace it.

Notices are served directly on the tenant. There is no fee for serving a notice. A notice does not end a tenancy by itself — if the tenant does not comply, you must then apply to the Board using an L form.

How to file with the LTB
1. Tribunals Ontario Portal — cheapest and fastest
Accepts L1, L2, L3, L4, L9, L10, T1, T2, T5 and T6. You need a Public Secure account. Beyond filing, the Portal lets you submit evidence and submissions, check file status, exchange documents with the other party, use the dispute resolution tool and in some cases select preferred hearing dates. Responding parties need the file number plus a one-time 5-digit PIN sent by mail and email.
2. By email — for specific forms
Applies to L6, L7, L8, T3, T4, T7, A1, A2, A4, Requests for Review and Requests for Hearing Recordings. Pay first on the LTB’s online payment page, then email your application to ltbpayments@ontario.ca with the 7-digit receipt number and the rental unit address in the subject line. You must submit within 24 hours of payment or your money is refunded and you start over. Never email credit card details — those messages are automatically deleted and not processed.
3. Mail, courier, or in person
Send to an LTB office, or attend a ServiceOntario centre — some accept all LTB applications in person, and cash is accepted there. Expect processing delays with mail and courier. Multi-tenant applications must be filed by mail or courier, not through the Portal.
A practical tip most people miss
Tribunals Ontario advises that you right-click the form link, choose “Save link as,” and open the saved copy in Adobe Reader. Do not complete forms inside your browser — some browsers will not let you save or complete them properly and you can lose everything you typed.

In-depth guides
I’ve written detailed walkthroughs of the four situations that come up most often:
- The N4 Notice — non-payment of rent, and the L1 application that follows
- The N12 Notice — ending a tenancy for landlord, purchaser or family use, and the bad-faith risk
- The T2 Application — how tenants enforce their rights against lockouts, illegal entry and harassment
- The T6 Application — how tenants force repairs, and how to pay rent to the Board instead of a landlord
Frequently asked questions
What is the Landlord and Tenant Board?
The Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) is the Ontario tribunal that resolves disputes between residential landlords and tenants under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. It is part of Tribunals Ontario. It handles evictions, rent arrears, maintenance disputes, rent increases and tenant rights applications.
What is the difference between an N form and an L or T form?
N forms are notices — a landlord or tenant serves them directly on the other party, and no fee is involved. L forms are landlord applications to the Board and T forms are tenant applications; both require a filing fee and lead to a hearing. You generally serve a notice first, then apply if the matter is not resolved.
How much does it cost to file with the LTB?
Most landlord applications (L1, L2, L3, L9, L10) cost $201, or $186 through the Tribunals Ontario Portal. Most tenant applications (T1, T2, T5, T6) cost $53, or $48 through the Portal. An L4 is free through the Portal. A Request to Review an Order is $58. All LTB fees are non-refundable.
How do I file an LTB application online?
Through the Tribunals Ontario Portal, which accepts L1, L2, L3, L4, L9, L10, T1, T2, T5 and T6 applications. You need a Public Secure account. Filing through the Portal is cheaper than paper and lets you submit evidence, check file status and exchange documents with the other party.
Can I file an LTB application by email?
Yes for certain forms — L6, L7, L8, T3, T4, T7, A1, A2, A4, Requests for Review and Requests for Hearing Recordings. You pay first through the online payment page, then email your application to ltbpayments@ontario.ca with the receipt number and unit address in the subject line. You must submit within 24 hours of payment or the fee is refunded. Never send credit card details by email — those messages are deleted unprocessed.
What if I cannot afford the LTB filing fee?
Submit a Fee Waiver Request form. It exists so cost is not a barrier to accessing the Board, and there is no downside to asking.
Did LTB forms change in 2026?
Yes. Effective 1 July 2026 the LTB updated a number of processes, forms and information materials following amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act under the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act (Bill 60) and the Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023 (Bill 97). Always download the current version directly from Tribunals Ontario.
Can I get free help with an LTB matter?
Tenants can get free assistance from Ontario community legal clinics, which handle LTB matters routinely and can often represent you at a hearing at no cost. Landlords typically retain a licensed paralegal or lawyer. The LTB itself can be reached at 416-645-8080 or 1-888-332-3234 for procedural questions.
Do I have to complete LTB forms in my browser?
No — and you should not. Tribunals Ontario advises right-clicking the form link, choosing “Save link as,” and opening the saved copy in Adobe Reader. Some browsers will not let you complete or save the form properly, and you can lose your work.
Can a landlord evict a tenant without going to the LTB?
No. Only the Landlord and Tenant Board can order an eviction, and only the Sheriff can enforce it. Changing locks, removing belongings or shutting off utilities is illegal in Ontario regardless of rent owed or the tenant’s conduct.

I am not a lawyer or a paralegal and nothing here is legal advice. But if you own or are buying a tenanted property in Etobicoke or Toronto and want an honest read on your options — hold, sell tenanted, or sell vacant — that is genuinely my job.
