Request to Review an Order in Ontario
The “Request to Review an Order” form is intended for parties who wish to ask the Landlord and Tenant Board to review an order due to perceived serious errors or because they were unable to participate in the proceedings. It outlines the process, including instructions for filling out the form, the grounds for review, and associated fees. The request for review must be filed within 30 days after the order was issued, with a $58 fee, and is structured in three parts: general information, reasons for the request, and a signature section.
Filling out a request for review form involves a few critical steps to ensure your request is properly submitted.
- Read the Instructions Carefully: Before filling out the form, thoroughly read the provided instructions. This will give you a clear understanding of the purpose of the form, the requirements, and how to fill it out correctly.
- Part 1: General Information
-
- Fill in your details as the requester, including your first and last name. Indicate your role in the proceeding (Landlord, Tenant, Co-op Member, or Other Party).
- Provide the mailing address, including unit/apartment/suite number, city/town, province, and postal code.
- Enter your day and evening phone numbers, and fax number if available.
- Detail the unit, building, or complex covered by the request with its full address.
- If there are other parties involved, provide their details as well, including names, roles, addresses, and contact information. Use the Schedule of Parties form for additional parties if needed.
- Part 2: Reasons for Your Request
-
- Indicate the main reason for your request: whether you believe the order contains a serious error or if you were not reasonably able to participate in the proceeding. Shade the appropriate box(es) next to your reason(s) for applying.
- Describe in detail why you are requesting a review. If you believe the order contains a serious error, explain why. Similarly, if you were unable to participate, explain the circumstances that prevented your participation. Be specific and provide examples where possible.
- Part 3: Signature
-
- Sign and date the form. Indicate who has signed the request by shading the circle next to “Requester,” “Representative,” or “Other.”
- If you are being represented, fill in the representative’s contact information, including first and last names, LSUC number if applicable, mailing address, contact numbers, and email address.
- Payment and Submission
-
- Pay the filing fee of $58. This can be done via money order, certified cheque, or online payment. If you pay online, email your receipt and request to LTBpayments@ontario.ca. If you are unable to afford the fee, you may submit a Fee Waiver Request.
- File all pages of the form with the LTB no more than 30 days after the date the order was issued. Ensure that the form is complete and that all required documents and the payment receipt (if applicable) are included with your submission.
- Additional Forms: If required, fill out the Request for French-Language Services or Request for Accommodation form, which is also included in the document, to request specific accommodations for the review process.
Remember, the LTB will not process your request unless the fee is paid, and the form is properly completed and filed within the specified timeframe.
