I owe rent. Should I sign a payment agreement?

If you owe rent, your landlord might ask you to agree to a payment agreement. The landlord might tell you that you will be evicted if you don't sign the agreement. But this is not true. You only have to move out if the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) makes an eviction order.

If your landlord wants to evict you for owing rent, they must follow an eviction process that has several steps. It's important for you to know where you are in the eviction process before you sign a payment agreement. You don't have to sign an agreement if you don't think it's reasonable or if you aren't sure you can make all the payments.
