84% of Ontario LTB tenancy cases this year were filed by landlords, not tenants. Before drawing a conclusion from that number, it’s worth understanding the structure behind it.
Arrears and hold-over applications are procedurally landlord-initiated by design — a tenant doesn’t file to evict themselves. So the number partly reflects how the system is built, not necessarily who’s “in the right” more often.
It’s also fair to ask whether tenants are underusing the remedies available to them — repair orders, harassment complaints, illegal fee disputes. Both readings deserve airtime.
