Question: What should Ontario landlords or tenants do if they filed the wrong application or went to the wrong forum for a rental dispute?

Call (416) 241-4529 to get help reviewing your facts and figuring out the right filing approach before timelines and procedural issues hurt your case.
Representation Provided to Landlords
Lippa Legal Services provides legal services for landlords as the owners of residential rental properties as well as for property managers as agent acting for the actual landlord. The services available may include document preparation involving the various Landlord Tenant Board forms, dispute resolution negotiations, representation as advocates at Landlord Tenant Board hearings, among other things. In short, Lippa Legal Services provides legal help for many of the various dispute issues that may commonly, or uniquely, arise within a landlord and tenant relationship.
Representation Provided to Tenants
To a tenant, your rental dwelling is 'your home'. Of course, 'home' means something unique to everyone and these special feelings are recognized. With this said, Lippa Legal Services also recognizes that impartial empathy is often necessary to remain focused upon the legal issues and to remain an objective advisor and negotiator. Lippa Legal Services helps tenants to resolve disputes by first reviewing the facts and issues and then by working to negotiate a resolution with the landlord. If resolution is evasive, Lippa Legal Services can prepare the required Landlord Tenant Board forms and advocate at Landlord Tenant Board hearings.

Lippa Legal Services provides legal services for Landlord and Tenant Board matters involving Troublesome Guests of Tenants, and much more, as issues common to concerns governed by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, Chapter 17. With this said, sometimes when a dispute involves a residential landlord and tenant, certain issues must proceed at the Landlord Tenant Board. The failure to bring specific issues into the proper forum may cause a dismissal the proceedings. It is also possible that when a dispute is brought into the wrong forum, the right to a redo or a restart of proceedings in the proper forum is lost. Accordingly, choosing the proper forum is imperative. With other cases, such as commercial tenancy disputes, the issues are always beyond the jurisdiction of the Landlord Tenant Board and must be pursued in the Superior Court depending on the legal issues involved.
NOTE: A considerable number of online searches featuring “lawyers near me” or “best lawyer in” frequently indicate a pressing requirement for competent legal assistance rather than a particular profession title. In Ontario, “licensed paralegals” operate under the same Law Society that governs lawyers and are permitted to represent clients in specified litigation cases. Advocacy, legal evaluation, and procedural expertise are fundamental to this position. Lippa Legal Services provides legal representation within its authorized framework, focusing on strategic positioning, evidence preparation, and compelling advocacy to attain efficient and beneficial outcomes for clients.
