Application Type(s)

(T1) Tenant Application for a Rebate

You can use this application to have the Landlord and Tenant Board (the LTB) determine whether your landlord collected money from you that they should not have collected or failed to pay you money they owe you. There are eight reasons for making this application. You can file this application, if your landlord:

• Charged you an illegal rent, which you have paid
• Collected an illegal charge, which you have paid to your landlord, your landlord’s agent or the superintendent.
• Did not use the last month’s rent deposit to pay for the last rental period of the tenancy and did not return the deposit to you.
• Entered into a tenancy agreement with you but the landlord did not allow you to move into the rental unit and did not return the money you paid as a deposit.
• Owes you interest on the last month’s rent deposit.
• Gave you one of the following notices to end your tenancy and did not pay you compensation by the termination date on the notice:
  • an N12 Notice to End your Tenancy Because the Landlord, a Purchaser or Family Member Requires the Rental Unit; or
  • an N13 Notice to End Your Tenancy Because the Landlord wants to Demolish the Rental Unit, Repair it or Convert it to Another Use.
• Sold your personal property and did not pay you the proceeds from the sale.
• Did not give you the required notice telling you that there was an Order Prohibiting a Rent Increase affecting your rental unit.
