File by Email

Steps to File by Email

Step 1: To file an application by email, you must pay online. Pay your application fee on the online payment portal. You can pay your filing fees with a credit card or debit card backed by Visa or Mastercard. After you pay, you will be emailed a receipt. Save the receipt as a PDF or print and scan it. Send your application together with your receipt to ltbpayments@ontario.ca.

Step 2: Save your application. Complete and save your completed application form electronically or scan your hard copy application form. Make sure you enter the payment receipt number in the “Payment Method” section of the form.

Step 3: Prepare your supporting documents. Ensure you have all your supporting documents (e.g. Certificate of Service and/or Notice of Termination) in electronic format.

Step 4: File by email. Immediately after submitting your payment, submit your application, supporting documents and payment receipt by email to ltbpayments@ontario.ca. In the “Subject Line” of your email, write the 7-digit receipt number and the rental unit address, e.g. Receipt #1013260; Unit 234, 123 Anywhere St., Anywhere, ON, M5P 3V1.

Attach the following documents to your email:

• complete application, including payment receipt number
• payment receipt
• certificate of Service and/or Notice of Termination (If required)

If you don’t submit your application to ltbpayments@ontario.ca within 24 hrs of payment, we will refund your money.

Filing multiple applications by email

If you are filing more than one application by email, include the 7-digit receipt number and the words “Bulk Filing”, in the Subject Line of your email. For example:

• Subject: Receipt #1013260, Bulk Filing.

Make sure that each application related to the attached receipt (payment) is included in the same email.

If all applications can’t be attached to the same email, send a second email with the remaining applications and the receipt. The subject line for this email should be “Receipt #1013260, Bulk Filing, Continued.”
