What these documents mean
If you are looking at the release and are not sure what you are reading, start here.
These are orders from Ontario's Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB), the tribunal that resolves disputes between landlords and tenants. An order is the board's written decision: who applied, what it was about, and what the board decided.
The categories below are the most common reasons a case reaches an order. Each one means something specific:
How the orders break down
Share of orders by the reason the case was brought.
The rent behind the cases
Most orders stem from unpaid rent. Here is the total and how much goes unpaid per case.
Where are cases of unpaid rent most likely?
Unpaid-rent orders per 1,000 renter households, so it reflects intensity among renters, not just where the most people live.

Common questions about this release
What this release covers, whether these orders are public, and how to find a specific one.
What period does the data publushed by Ontario's Attorney General's office in July 2026 release cover?
This release contains Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) orders issued between January and May 2026. Openroom's full record of court orders goes back to 2002.
Are Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board orders public?
Yes. LTB orders are public records. The Government of Ontario published this catalogue, and Openroom organizes it alongside its wider record so you can search it in one place.
How do I find a Landlord and Tenant Board order in Ontario?
Search Openroom by a party's name, the rental address, or the file number. You'll see the individual order behind the aggregate numbers on this page. Looking up individual orders requires a free Openroom account.
What is an LTB order?
An LTB order is the Landlord and Tenant Board's written decision in a dispute between a landlord and a tenant: who applied, what the case was about, and what the board decided. Common types include non-payment of rent (L1) and eviction for cause (L2).
Can I look up a landlord's or tenant's court order history?
Yes. You can search Openroom by name to see the court orders associated with a person or company, which is how many landlords and legal representatives screen and research before making a decision.
What do order codes like L1, L2, and N4 mean?
These are application and notice codes. L1 is a landlord's application for non-payment of rent, L2 is eviction for cause, and N4 is the notice to end a tenancy for unpaid rent. See the plain-English primer above for the most common types.
Is it free to search court orders on Openroom?
