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).

Is this legal advice?
This is a self-help template, not legal advice. Use of this template does not create a solicitor–client or paralegal–client relationship. The LTB T2 form itself is filed by the tenant; preparing the T2 form for fee is paralegal/lawyer scope and is NOT included in this template. For T2 hearing representation or complex matters, retain an LSO-licensed paralegal or lawyer — paralegals can represent independently at the LTB. Bill 60 amendments to RTA timing are NOT yet in force as of 20 May 2026.
What if I need to change something afterwards?
Tell us and we will either adjust the letter and send you the updated version at no cost, or refund you in full — your choice. If we can’t deliver what you paid for, the refund is automatic. Full terms are on our promise page.
Do I have to pay to know if I have a case?
No. The rights encyclopedia on this site is free and cites the same primary sources the letter does. Read the relevant guide first — plenty of situations are resolved by a phone call to a free statutory body, and where one exists we say so.
