RTB is intended to be an accessible, easy-to-use avenue for addressing and resolving conflicts between landlords and tenants. Unfortunately, landlord-tenant disputes are often complicated, and as a result, the rules and procedures for resolving those disputes have also become complicated.<\/p>\n<p>The RTB operates based on its rules of procedure, which are available online. If you are involved in a RTB dispute, it is imperative that you learn about the RTB\u2019s rules of procedure and follow those rules to the best of you ability. Many RTB cases have been won or lost due to one party\u2019s failure to follow the rules.<\/p>\n<p>If you need help with an RTB case, Pax Law\u2019s landlord-tenant lawyers have the experience and knowledge to assist you with your RTB dispute case.
