Feces, urine, mould: After 1-year eviction fight, Hamilton landlord gets back home needing $100K in fixes
Verica Grgic got LTB order to evict tenant last week over $25K in unpaid rent
...Before 2018, the LTB was able to deal with eviction cases from start to finish within two months, said Laird, who's worked as an adjudicator on several other Ontario tribunals. If a tenant missed a hearing, another could be scheduled the next day.
After the Doug Ford government took power in 2018, experienced adjudicators left and "efficient" in-person hearings were switched to virtual hearings over the course of the pandemic, all of which slowed down the process, she said.
"This is really hurting landlords and also tenants."
Laird noted 40 per cent of Ontario residents are tenants and the vast majority pay their rent on time.
But the LTB should be able to deal with egregious cases quickly so landlords can take possession, do repairs and find new tenants who need housing as soon as possible, Laird said.
"The quality of service from the tribunal has deteriorated astoundingly. Nothing is working efficiently."
