I'm the Co-Founder and CEO at Openroom
No one wants to be in a dispute. It is extremely painful & stressful. My tenancy dispute led us to create Openroom.I wanted to grow my family and move into my home
I issued the notices, paid compensation, and gave more than 2X the amount of time for my tenants to find a new home. Tenants decided they weren’t going to leave and they weren’t going to pay rent anymore.$35K in rental arrears and 7 LTB orders later
I was 30 weeks pregnant, I went to the Tribunal Hearings and finally got the order to evict. It was a near 2 year dispute that was mentally exhausting.Built Openroom to hold people accountable
I found out I was not the only one. Thousands of people were going through disputes - be it tenants or landlords. I wondered why these orders were not made public in a timely manner because Canada has the Open Court Principle. With that, I shared my 7 court orders with you.Over 100K visitors and 2 million searches
The Openroom community members, like you, helped us build a Court Order Search Engine that has changed the rental industry. All of us created this movement towards transparency in the rental ecosystem.Continuing this epic movement
I ended up leaving my corporate job to continue educating, sharing, and building for the Canadian rental ecosystem. My team and I believe in a world where great renters and great housing providers can thrive together.

A very useful site; ; hopefully saving landlords thousands of $, and likewise assisting good tenants with their housing needs.
Well done! We ALL, and that's Landlords and Tenants, all need a resource such as this one. I wish I had been able to research in this fashion before I got stiffed for $25k in unpaid rent.
Hello! Thank you for the great resource you are providing! It is a life saver!.
Thank you very much for creating Openroom.ca! Such a great resource!
Recently I rented out my unit to a tenant with fake credit and eviction on her name and started the long eviction process with LTB. This would have been avoided if I used Openroom as screening process. I hope you guys can continue develop this and make everybody's lives better.
You are doing a huge service to the community.
Openroom is the best thing since slice bread for good landlords and good tenants
Just to let everyone know that Openroom does work, I have a tenant knowing that the order for eviction is coming and they were told by other landlords that he has an eviction for non payment of rent. The tenant went into a payment plan and did not pay a penny. He is now pleading to stay which will not happen. Happy New Year everyone.

Been in the game since 1977 as a real estate broker, and property manager and since 2008 as a licenced paralegal. About time you people came along.
Keep doing what you are doing, it is immensely helpful.
A major shoutout to Openroom! Had a tenant inquire about a rental unit, a really thoughtful and strong-sounding inquiry, would normally be happy to offer them a viewing and an application. A quick Openroom search told me that she and boyfriend signed an N11 in exchange for waiving their 3 months unpaid rent with LL. When it came time to vacate, they stayed and fought their N11 at the LTB, buying them another 4 months of living for free at the expense of their LL. Was very easy to verify their identify with Openroom and Facebook combined, to ensure it was indeed them. Keep on uploading your LTB orders to Openroom and be sure to search prospective tenants you are considering!!
