4. Give your closing statement

After both you and your landlord finish presenting your evidence and questioning all the witnesses, you can each give a closing statement.

In your closing statement, you explain why you think the LTB member should not evict you. Your statement should be based on:

• what the witnesses have said
• the documents that have been used as evidence
• the rules and laws that apply to your case

Your landlord goes first, then you. Your landlord then has a last chance to speak, but only about anything new that you raised in your closing statement.
