Hearing Wait Times
As of May 29, 2026, 80% of cases are heard between 3.2 and 14.1 months. Due to last-minute adjournments, actual wait times could be longer than scheduled on the hearing notice.
How is this calculated?
The wait times are observed from recent orders from Landlord and Tenant Board. It uses the rent arrears at hearing to estimate how many months have passed between when the rent became past due and the actual hearing date.
