Scarborough has one of the largest rental markets in Toronto: high-rise towers along the Kingston Road and Eglinton corridors, purpose-built apartments, condo units owned by small investors, and thousands of basement and secondary suites in detached homes. Each comes with its own landlord-tenant issues, and most of them end up at the same place, the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).
For Scarborough landlords
- Non-payment of rent (N4, L1): since September 21, 2026, the N4 termination date only needs to be at least 7 days after the notice.
- Persistent late payment (N8)
- Moving yourself or family in (N12), including the new 120-day option
- Damage and problem tenants
- Collecting from former tenants (L10)
Renting out a basement or a room in the home you live in? Whether the Residential Tenancies Act applies depends on whether the occupant shares a kitchen or bathroom with you or your immediate family. See who the RTA does not cover.
For Scarborough tenants
We also represent tenants facing eviction notices, maintenance problems or illegal entry. See tenant representation.
Small Claims and other matters
Scarborough residents with Small Claims matters, such as unpaid invoices, contractor disputes or property damage up to $50,000, are served by the Toronto Small Claims Court. We also handle provincial offences and Human Rights Tribunal applications.
How we work
Consultations are free and available by phone or video, so you don't have to travel. Most LTB hearings are held by video too. When an in-person appearance is needed, we attend.
