While Harry Fine is a licensed paralegal, he is no longer practicing but instead, devotes his efforts to teaching landlords all about the LTB and how to stay out of trouble, or to get out of trouble.

The LTB website has raw, dry information. It is not helpful in understanding real-world strategies, nor does it structure information into a cohesive package on a topic-by-topic basis. There is also a bias in favour of tenants. The same can be said about the LTB call centre.
*

The Residential Tenancies Act, it’s Regulations, the LTB Rules and Guidelines as well as decisions from Ontario’s appellate courts constantly change the rules of the game. In our educational videos, all materials, forms, PowerPoint etc. are updated each time there is a change that makes the current material obsolete.

Every purchase comes with a one-year free update guarantee. If modules are updated, we will send you a link to download the latest video, instructional PowerPoint and accompanying documents.

The video can be watched as often as you like. You download it. It’s yours.

Great question. It depends. Professionals like lawyers and paralegals are expensive. Paralegals less so, but sometimes it doesn’t make sense to spend more money on legal fees than the dispute is about. The answer depends on your own comfort level with appearing at the LTB and presenting your case. If the matter is messy or complicated, I often recommend having a paralegal represent you.
*

Absolutely! We have favourites who get rave reviews from landlords who are referred to colleagues. We don’t take any referral fee or commission.
*

If you are not going to the LTB right now, I would start with the Landlord Essentials 3 Pack. That’s the one that contains the first 3 modules and is designed to keep you out of trouble. Later on if you are going to the LTB, for instance on a rent arrears application, it makes sense to then purchase the module “Eviction for Rent Arrears“. Property Management companies usually purchase the Buy All 10 package.
*

Preparing for and Attending an LTB Hearing is a crash-course on how to represent yourself at the LTB, what it looks and feels like. It’s not specific to any single type of application, but it does contain tips at the end on various types of LTB eviction applications.
*

Well, you can. But Harry has over 20 years experience at the LTB, both as an adjudicator and paralegal. It can take months to get a hearing. If you lose, you either start over, or even worse, you can’t start over because the decision is final. When deciding if these packages are right for you, consider what happens if you lose. Consider the cost of a lawyer or paralegal. Or starting over while rent is not being paid.
*

Everybody. And nobody. A little secret is that it’s crazy to buy the Forms Package, because almost all the forms are in the Starting a Tenancy module, and they are ALL included in the Landlord Essentials 3 Pack. So it makes more sense to get the value of one module, Starting a Tenancy, or all 3 modules AND you get the forms included.
*

That’s easy. The Landlord Essentials 3 Pack, followed by Eviction for Personal or Purchaser Use, followed by Eviction for Rent Arrears and Persistent Late Payment.
*

You will receive an email with the forms, templates etc. along with the video companion PowerPoint as soon as the purchase is made. Within an hour, you will receive a link to download the Video from WeTransfer. You do not need an account to download the video. Videos are generally about 400MB and are mp4 files, playable anywhere.

In the webinar on Evictions for Rent Arrears, I describe the process from beginning to end. We talk a lot about the N4 notice, the importance of getting it right, what are allowable charges on the rent ledger, making sure the tenant doesn’t claim they never received it, how the “voiding” of N4 notices. work. There is an N4/L1 eviction flowchart to help you visualize the process. We talk about standard orders, and relief from eviction.
*

In the Webinar on Eviction for Conduct and Recovery of Monies, we cover many scenarios so that you will understand which of the 3 conduct notices to serve. Or how to serve them together. The importance of specificity in the notices is demonstrated, as well as the timing issues for service and termination dates. There is a chart which explains the timing issues for each notice. And we have sample N5 appendices based on many grounds for eviction. We deal with the most common forms and requests that often become necessary in these types of applications.
*

If a tenant does not engage in conduct issues, there is no way to get your home back except for what we call the “No Fault” applications. Those are the N12 and N13 notices. But they are complicated, lots of traps and pitfalls. In the webinar on Landlord or Purchaser’s Use, we teach you how to be strategic, which mistakes to avoid.
