We Handle the Entire 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 N4 to hearing – so you can stop losing rent and get your property back.
The N4 is where most landlord-run evictions fail. A single error – a wrong arrears figure or an incorrect termination date – can get your whole application dismissed at the hearing, sending you back to the start and costing you months. We prepare every N4 to the LTB’s exact requirements so that doesn’t happen to you.
Stop Losing Rent Before It Gets Worse
Every missed payment increases your financial risk. Acting immediately protects your property and strengthens your position at the LTB.

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

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my tenant stop the eviction by paying the arrears?
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 — 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 is given a set period to pay the full arrears, depending on the rental period. For most monthly tenancies this is 14 days, depending on your method of service .If they don’t pay in time, we move straight to filing your L1 Application.
Can I still recover the rent my tenant owes me?
Yes. The L1 Application lets us seek both eviction and the unpaid rent (arrears) the tenant owes. We pursue what you’re owed alongside getting your unit back.
What does it cost to evict a tenant for non-payment?
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 actually evict the tenant and recover the arrears once the N4 period has passed.
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.
What if the tenant makes a partial payment?
Partial payments can affect your eviction timeline. We advise on strategy before you accept any funds.
Do you represent tenants?
No. We represent landlords only.
Do you handle the hearing for me?
Yes. We prepare, file, and represent you at the LTB from start to finish.
How Fast Can I Evict a Tenant for Non-Payment?
Timelines depend on the Landlord and Tenant Board. However, properly prepared N4 notices and correct filings prevent the avoidable delays and dismissals that drag cases out.
The Longer You Wait, The More You Lose
