The Practice Direction on Representation before Social Justice Tribunals Ontario has been revised and is now the Practice Direction on Representation before the Landlord and Tenant Board . Changes include: additional guidance respecting unlicensed representatives in LTB proceedings; clarification of the role of support persons during LTB hearings; and clarification of the responsibilities of licensed representatives.
Interpretation Guideline 21: Landlords, Tenants, Occupants and Residential Tenancies has also been revised. Additional guidance has been provided respecting the definition of “landlord” and the role of property managers.
Given the revisions made to Interpretation Guideline 21 and the Practice Direction on Representation before the Landlord and Tenant Board, Interpretation Guideline 20: Parties, Agents and Representatives is no longer necessary and has been revoked.
