Schedule of
Fees and Costs for LTB MattersWork
There
are
several potential stages involved in the eviction
of a tenant. Below are the various stages and types of work for
which you will be charged for a typical Tribunal application
terminating a tenancy, as well as other types of applications and
fees.
It is impossible to generalize on fees and costs, as the amount you will be
charged will vary depending on the complexity of the application, the
amount of research and preparation required, the length of the
hearing, the sophistication of the client and number of appearances. However, you only pay for the services used. |

In
addition to fees, the client will be required to pay Board application fees,
that for most Landlord applications cost $170. The largest fee
is the Sheriff's fee, charged by the Sheriff to actually enforce the
order (writ of possession). Most times, this fee is not
required, as the Tenant moves out as a result of the Board
order, but depending on mileage, can be as much as $330..
