Tenant Not Paying Rent in Ontario?

We Handle the Entire Non-Payment Eviction. We Serve the N4, File the L1, and Get Your Non-Paying Tenant Out.

We prepare the N4 and file the L1 correctly, so your case doesn’t get delayed or dismissed on a technicality.

You don’t need to learn the LTB process or risk getting the paperwork wrong. Let Sturino Walker Legal handle your non-payment eviction from start to finish. We’re licensed Ontario paralegals at the LTB daily, with 400+ evictions behind us.

We Handle the Entire Non-Payment Eviction For You

A tenant who won’t pay rent is stressful, and every month the arrears grow. We handle the entire non-payment eviction for you, from the N4 notice through to the LTB hearing, so you can stop losing rent and get your property back.

Whether your tenant is behind on rent, owes months of arrears, or has stopped paying altogether, you don’t have to work out the LTB process yourself. We prepare and serve the N4, file the L1 application, represent you at the hearing, and work to recover the unpaid rent you’re owed.

Stop Losing Rent Before It Gets Worse

Every missed payment increases your financial risk. The longer a non-paying tenant stays, the more you lose, and the harder it is to recover. Acting now protects your property and strengthens your position at the LTB.

We help landlords whose:

Tenant won’t pay rent or has stopped paying altogether
Tenant is behind on rent or owes months of arrears
Tenant makes partial payments or breaks payment promises
Rent arrears keep growing month after month
Situation calls for evicting a tenant for non-payment

We don’t just evict. We help you recover the unpaid rent you’re owed.

From N4 to Hearing, Handled For You

Step 1. Your N4 Notice, Done Right
We prepare and serve your N4 notice for non-payment of rent, with the arrears figures and dates done correctly the first time, so your case isn’t dismissed or delayed on a technicality.
Step 2. L1 Application Filed
If the tenant still won’t pay, we file your L1 application with the LTB to evict the tenant and recover the rent arrears you’re owed.
Step 3. LTB Hearing Representation
We attend the LTB hearing and present your case professionally, so you don’t have to face the board alone.
Step 4. Enforcement Guidance
After the order, we guide you through sheriff enforcement and the steps to get your property back.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sturino Walker legal services was able to save my demerit points for three charges. "Failed to stop for an emergency vehicle" was the most punishable offence. Liam Walker used his professional experience and cancelled my all charges. I highly recommend their services for traffic tickets. Thank you Liam Walker for saving my time and frustration.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Overall I was pleased, most landlords don't come to see Liam relaxed & stress free. however there the issue of  someone else's name instead of mine on the first letter issued -( cut & paste) and all the tenants were not listed on the Doc's which may of been a problem - because the father may be evicted and leave the wife and son to continue to live in the house, however unlikely. I did have to suggest that all correspondence have the firms letterhead - this gives the recipient the impression of seriousness and clout. I also wish Liam issued the N4 & L1 to collect arreas at the same time as a opposed to separate issues, and the member asked if it had been filed, now going back to the board. Good communication and friendly - nice modern office and Liam is knowledgeable.

Non-Payment Eviction FAQ for Ontario Landlords

Can my tenant stop the eviction by paying the arrears?
Yes. If the tenant pays the full amount owed by the termination date on the N4, the notice becomes void and the tenancy continues. This is exactly why the N4 timing and figures must be correct, and we make sure nothing is left to chance.

How long does my tenant have to pay after the N4 is served?
Once the N4 is served, your tenant has a set period to pay the full arrears, usually 14 days for a monthly tenancy, depending on your method of service. If they don’t pay in time, we move straight to filing your L1 application.

Can I recover the unpaid rent my tenant owes me?
Yes. The L1 application lets us seek both eviction and the rent arrears the tenant owes. We pursue the unpaid rent you’re owed alongside getting your unit back.

What does it cost to evict a tenant for non-payment of rent?
We work on a flat fee. One price, no hourly billing, no surprises. Call 905-738-7171 for a quote on your specific matter.

What’s the difference between an N4 and an L1?
The N4 is the notice you must serve the tenant first for non-payment of rent. The L1 is the application we file with the Landlord and Tenant Board to evict the tenant and recover the arrears once the N4 period has passed.

How do I evict a tenant for not paying rent in Ontario?
It starts with a properly served N4 notice, followed by an L1 application to the LTB, then a hearing. We handle all three steps for you and represent you at the board.

Can I evict a tenant immediately for non-payment?
No. Ontario law requires a properly served N4 notice before an L1 application can be filed. Acting quickly still matters, because every week of delay adds to the arrears you’re carrying.

What if the tenant makes a partial payment?
Partial payments can affect your eviction timeline. Talk to us before you accept any funds, so a payment doesn’t reset your case.

Do you represent tenants?
No. We represent landlords only.

Do you handle the LTB hearing for me?
Yes. We prepare, file, and represent you at the LTB from start to finish, so you don’t have to face the board alone.

How Fast Can I Evict a Tenant for Non-Payment in Ontario?

Timelines depend on the Landlord and Tenant Board, and the LTB can be slow. What you can control is avoiding the delays that drag cases out. A properly prepared N4 and a correctly filed L1 keep your case moving instead of getting bounced for errors or sent back to the start. We handle both correctly the first time, and we move quickly once you’re ready to begin.

The Longer You Wait, The More You Lose

Rent arrears add up fast, and every week a non-paying tenant stays is money you won’t get back. Acting now protects your property and gets your non-payment eviction moving.
