T2 Tenant · Ontario LTB

What can I do about illegal entry, harassment, a lockout, or lost services?

The landlord interfered with your rights (entry without notice, harassment, lockout, or cutting off services). File a T2.

The step-by-step process

Reviewed by a licensed paralegal. General information — not legal advice.

  1. 1

    Record each incident: dates, times, what happened, and any witnesses or messages.

  2. 2

    File a T2 with the LTB and pay the filing fee (fee waiver available if eligible).

  3. 3

    At the hearing, present your timeline and evidence.

  4. 4

    The LTB can order the conduct to stop, a rent abatement, and other remedies (including allowing you to end the tenancy early in some cases).

⏱ Timeline

Generally file within one year of the conduct. Verify current filing options on the LTB site.

⚠️ Common mistakes to avoid

  • A lockout or a shut-off of a vital service is urgent — you can ask the LTB for an expedited hearing, and municipal by-law/police may also help.
