What happens if I miss my LTB hearing?

If you miss your hearing, the LTB may proceed without you or dismiss your application. Join early, test your audio and video ahead of time, and if something goes wrong, contact the LTB immediately. A licensed paralegal can attend on your behalf so your case is never left unrepresented.

Can a paralegal attend my LTB hearing for me?

Yes. OLH's licensed paralegals attend LTB hearings for clients and can represent you at the hearing — presenting your evidence, responding to the tenant's issues, and advocating for your position. This is included with the OLH Legal Guarantee.
