Before proceeding

Common tenant questions.

Should I wait for the hearing before getting advice?

Waiting can reduce the time available to review documents, obtain evidence or complete required procedural steps. Contacting the firm does not extend any deadline or hearing date.

Can you assist if I have already filed an application?

Potentially. The filed application, supporting documents, deadlines, hearing date and any conflict must first be reviewed.

Do you represent tenants throughout Ontario?

Yes, in appropriate matters. Virtual consultations and LTB proceedings allow CF Paralegal Services to assist tenants across Ontario.
