This page is for tenants of the Lac Gerard land-lease community. It collects, in one place, what the Landlord and Tenant Board has already decided about our community, how to file your own application, and what to gather first. It is general information put together by a fellow tenant, not legal advice about your specific situation.
What the Board has already decided:
- August 20, 2026: the Residential Tenancies Act applies to our land-lease homes (Beaulne and Parent, 1179 Fantham Road).
- October 15, 2026: the Act applies to 1181 Fantham Road as well (Kennedy).
- October 23, 2026: the Waglers owe $398 to the tenant at 1193 Fantham Road, and $598 to the tenants at 1189 Fantham Road.
- November 4, 2026: the $1,300 rent at 1104 Fantham Road is void — the lawful rent is $750 a year — and the Waglers owe $598.
How to file a T1 (Tenant Application for a Rebate of Money the Landlord Owes):
A T1 is how a tenant claims back money the landlord owes: illegal rent, illegal charges, deposits, interest, N12/N13 compensation, sale proceeds, or a missing rent-increase-prohibition notice. Most reasons only reach back 12 months. The Board can order at most $50,000 on a T1. The filing fee is $48, and a fee waiver exists for those who qualify. File through the Tribunals Ontario Portal, or by mail or courier. Forms and instructions: tribunalsontario.ca/ltb (available in English and French). Step-by-step video walkthrough: coming soon.
What to gather before you file:
- Your lease, and any rent increase notices you received.
- Rent receipts or e-transfer records showing what you actually paid, and when.
- The dates: when you moved in, when each rent amount started, and when you paid.
- Photos or documents that support your claim.
