Services
Landlord-Tenant Dispute Resolution
We specialize in resolving landlord-tenant conflicts through strategic legal interventions. Our services include drafting notices, preparing eviction applications, and negotiating settlements while ensuring compliance with the Residential Tenancies Act. We help landlords address unpaid rent, property damage, and lease violations through formal dispute resolution processes at the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Eviction Proceedings
Our practice handles all aspects of eviction cases, from initial notice preparation to court enforcement. We represent landlords in eviction hearings for grounds including non-payment of rent, personal use of property, and tenant misconduct affecting reasonable enjoyment. We also assist with enforcing eviction orders through sheriff's office coordination and post-hearing compliance measures.
Rent Recovery
We assist landlords in recovering unpaid rent through formal claims at the Landlord and Tenant Board. Our services include calculating arrears, preparing financial documentation, and presenting cases to obtain monetary judgments. We also advise on post-judgment collection strategies while maintaining compliance with debt collection regulations and tenant rights protections.
Tribunal Representation
We provide full representation before the Landlord and Tenant Board for all permitted matters. Our services include filing applications, responding to tenant claims, and presenting evidence during hearings. We prepare clients for testimony, cross-examine witnesses, and submit legal arguments to support favorable outcomes in eviction and rent arrears cases.
Hearing Attendance
We attend all required hearings on behalf of landlords to ensure professional representation. Our services include preparing case bundles, coordinating document submissions, and delivering oral arguments before adjudicators. We provide post-hearing summaries and explain judgment implications while maintaining strict adherence to procedural timelines and evidence rules.
