Suing LTB

Can the LTB be sued? It's part of the government, wouldn't it have some sort of legal immunity?

Landlord has filed…

End of day, for LTB to be faster, you are going to have to pay for it via tax. Cheaper to just pay tenant to f**k off.

I wouldn't call it "immunity", more like sharing the same bed sorta speak.
If the plaintiff wins, the LTB may be dissolved because it would set a precedent which will open the floodgates.

ya that will solve all the problems... to many landlords blaming the LTB for bad business decisions which i find comical.

Surely doubling their capacity to adjudicate disputes wouldn't cost much? Simplifying evictions for non-payment could eliminate a lot of the backlog?

I think we (all) should pay for this collectively via our taxes.

This is what I don't get. When the tenants aren't even making the effort pay rent and know they are untouchable; why would any government encourage such behaviour. It only hurts tenants who do fall on hard times and can't pay. Because eventually both groups will get lumped in together and evicted together.

Agreed. if a department fail to fulfill its duty, it should be disoved.

Entire LTB should be replaced by ChatGPT…it doesnt require any brain.

In fact, this is what ChatGPT said:

Here are some general principles that could be included in a fair policy for landlords and tenants:

Both landlords and tenants should be treated with respect and should be expected to treat each other with respect.
Landlords should be required to maintain the rental unit in a safe and habitable condition, and tenants should be required to take care of the rental unit and not cause damage.
Landlords should have the right to charge a reasonable rent, and tenants should have the right to a rental unit that is worth the amount they are paying.
Landlords should have the right to evict tenants for legitimate reasons, such as non-payment of rent or damage to the rental unit, and tenants should have the right to challenge an eviction if they believe it is not justified.
Landlords and tenants should have the right to privacy and quiet enjoyment of their rental unit.
Landlords and tenants should be able to resolve disputes in a fair and timely manner, through negotiation or with the help of a neutral third party, such as ChatGPT or other similar AI.

Did ChatGPT just try to hire itself?!

If they get dissolved, all those renters that work there will be homeless.

It used to be a perk, only renters get hired by ltb.

Hope something comes out of it, but I doubt it. Anyway to keep updated on when this will be tried in court and the result?
