LTB: Operational Update
Timelines at the LTB


The LTB is actively working to improve service standards. This includes hiring more staff and adjudicators, and streamlining processes. We appreciate your patience while these improvements are underway.

  • On average, L1 and L9 applications are being scheduled within five months. A Notice of Hearing will be sent to the parties before the scheduled hearing date. This is an improvement from earlier this year, when the average was 8-10 months to get to a hearing.
  • On average, other new and adjourned matters are currently being scheduled within seven to eight months from when they were received or adjourned.
  • On average, orders are being sent within 60 days or less of a hearing.
  • Use the Tribunals Ontario Portal to check the status of your file, find out the date and details of your next hearing and whether an order has been issued.
  • You may need to wait as long as 37 minutes to speak to a call centre representative. When all lines are busy with other callers, you will get a busy signal.

Please refer to our Renting in Ontario webpage or use Navigate Tribunals Ontario to learn about your rights and responsibilities and the rules and processes at the LTB.
