L9: Application to Collect Rent the Tenant Owes (Without Eviction)
Used to get a money order for arrears while keeping the tenancy alive — for landlords who want payment, not eviction.
How the L9 Works
- No notice of termination required — you can file while the tenancy continues.
- Must be filed while the tenant is still in possession of the unit (use an L10 after move-out for arrears discovered later).
- The resulting order is enforceable like a court judgment — garnishment, collections, and Equifax judgment reporting.
- $186 LTB filing fee applies.
Fixed-Fee Help — No Hourly Billing
OLH handles the L9 on transparent fixed-fee rates (quoted in your free consultation, plus taxes and disbursements). Legal Guarantee clients pay nothing extra — every notice, filing, and LTB hearing is included at $199/month.
