1. Fill out the basic information on the LTB’s application form

If your landlord has evicted you illegally, you can apply to the LTB using Form T2: Application about Tenant Rights. You can download and print it from the LTB’s website. You can also fill in and file the form online using the Tribunals Ontario Portal.

Part 1 of the form asks for basic information about you and your landlord, the address of your rental unit, and any other people affected by your application.

If you cannot get mail or phone calls at the rental unit, give a mailing address and phone number where you can be reached.

Your landlord might be a person or a company. Make sure you identify your landlord correctly. If you are not sure who your landlord is, you can name whoever you pay rent to. You can also look at a copy of your rental agreement or any other letters or notices from your landlord.

If the LTB does make an order against your landlord, you might have a problem enforcing it if the name is not exactly right.
