Is the Landlord and Tenant Board Broken? | The Agenda

When a landlord or tenant has an issue, they can apply for a hearing at the Landlord and Tenant Board. But for years now, the waitlist for a hearing has been many months long. Why is there still such a backlog? And what does it means for landlords and tenants seeking justice? For insight, we welcome: Varun Sriskanda, board member for the Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario; Geordie Dent, executive director of Federation of Metro Tenants Associations; Kathy Laird, retired human rights lawyer and adjudicator and a spokesperson for Tribunal Watch Ontario; Gloria Salomon, CEO of Preston Group and vice-chair of the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario.
