Ontario RTA — Final Notice Before LTB Tenant Application (T2)
Stage-2 of the Ontario tenant chain. Final notice to the landlord after the stage-1 RTA demand was ignored, denied, only partially addressed, or where the conduct continued / recurred / produced retaliation. Documents continued breaches, calculates rent abatement against LTB precedent banding (10-30% of monthly rent for non-emergency interference, higher for vital-service withholding), and signals concrete intent to file a Tenant Application (Form T2) at the LTB plus refer the conduct to the Rental Housing Enforcement Unit (RTA s.234 offence — fines up to $100,000 / $500,000). NOT a T2 form draft — settlement-pressure correspondence only. UPL-safe under LSO By-Law 4.

Your prior demand and the landlord's response
Confirm what happened after your stage-1 demand. This letter is the final notice before LTB T2 filing.
This letter will cite
Residential Tenancies Act 2006 ss.20-29, 31, 234 (offences — fines up to $100,000 / $500,000), 235 (reprisal as offence); LTB Tenant Application T2 process at tribunalsontario.ca/ltb
Your final notice references your earlier demand, documents the landlord's response (or continued conduct), recalculates rent abatement, and signals concrete intent to file an LTB Tenant Application T2 within a short deadline.
Final notices are typically shorter than the stage-1 window (5 days is common). T2 applications must be filed within 1 year of the conduct under RTA s.29(2).
