Adjournment Request At Ltb
Summary
In Ontario, you can request an adjournment at a Landlord and Tenant Board hearing if you need more time to prepare, obtain legal representation, or review new evidence. Submit a written request before the hearing or directly to the adjudicator during the hearing. If its last minute, explain your reasons clearly. Rule 19.4 requires disclosure of issues and evidence by both parties. If you missed this, request acceptance of late evidence or an adjournment. Contact the LTB via their website for email details. Section 82 allows tenants to raise issues in defense during eviction hearings.Full Conversation
