# Which LTB application fits a tenant’s problem ## Get an answer with one URL This tool needs facts that identify a person (names or addresses), and those never go in a URL. Three ways to get the answer: 1. Give the person the page to fill in themselves: https://mithril.law/ltb/tenant-path?facts=%7B%22issues%22%3A%5B%7B%22kind%22%3A%22repairs_maintenance%22%2C%22date%22%3A%222026-10-01%22%2C%22ongoing%22%3Atrue%7D%5D%2C%22stillLivingThere%22%3Atrue%2C%22firstToldLandlordOn%22%3A%222026-10-02%22%2C%22compensationSought%22%3A900%2C%22rent%22%3A%7B%22amount%22%3A1800%2C%22period%22%3A%22monthly%22%7D%7D (prefilled with the facts that are safe in a link). 2. POST the facts as JSON to https://mithril.law/api/v1/operations/ltb.tenant_path/runs: ```sh curl -X POST https://mithril.law/api/v1/operations/ltb.tenant_path/runs -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"input":{"issues":[{"kind":"repairs_maintenance","date":"2026-10-01","ongoing":true,"description":"The heating has not worked since October 1."}],"stillLivingThere":true,"firstToldLandlordOn":"2026-10-02","compensationSought":900,"rent":{"amount":1800,"period":"monthly"},"tenants":[]}}' ``` 3. Call the MCP tool `ltb_tenant_path` at https://mithril.law/mcp. Which application fits a tenant’s problem (T1, T2, T5 or T6), the deadline for each, the fee, what to gather and the facts the form asks for. For tenants and former tenants. Ask what happened and when (for money, when it was paid; for a repair, when it was fixed or that it isn’t; for an N12 or N13, when they moved out), whether they still live there, and how much they want the LTB to order. Names and the address are optional and only fill the form data. ## Facts - `issues`: Add each one that applies, with its date.

Preview: a lawyer has not yet verified every rule behind this tool. ## The law behind it - Tenant applications: how much the LTB can order, and when a lawyer is offered (unverified): The LTB can order at most the greater of CAD 10,000 and the Small Claims Court limit, which is CAD 50,000; the code flags any amount sought above CAD 50,000. Separately, as Mithril's own routing and not a legal limit, the code offers a lawyer when the amount sought is CAD 5,000 or more. - Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, s. 207(1): https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17 - O. Reg. 626/00 (Small Claims Court Jurisdiction and Appeal Limit), made under the Courts of Justice Act, s. 1(1): https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/000626 - Instructions for Form T6 (August 2023): https://tribunalsontario.ca/documents/ltb/Tenant%20Applications%20%26%20Instructions/T6_Instructions.html - Tenant applications: time limits (unverified): T2 and T6: within one year after the conduct occurred (s. 29(2)); for a repair problem that has been fixed, one year after the date it was fixed, and while it is not fixed the code gives no deadline; for continuing T2 conduct the code counts from when it started, the earliest deadline. T1: within one year after the money was collected or kept (s. 135(4)). T5 for a bad-faith N12 or N13: within one year after moving out (s. 57(2)). T5 for a refused right to move back in: the later of two years after moving out and six months after the renovations were finished (s. 57.1(2)). One year is counted to the same calendar date. When that day is a Saturday, a Sunday or a holiday listed in s. 88 of the Legislation Act, 2006, the deadline is the next day that is none of these (RTA s. 193, LTB Rules 1.1 and 1.14, Legislation Act s. 89(1)). Days the code treats as holidays only to be careful elsewhere, such as the Civic Holiday and September 30, never extend a deadline. - Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, s. 29: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17 - Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, s. 135: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17 - Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, s. 57: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17 - Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, s. 57.1: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17 - Instructions for Form T1: https://tribunalsontario.ca/documents/ltb/Tenant%20Applications%20%26%20Instructions/T1_Instructions.html - Instructions for Form T5 (updated September 21, 2026): https://tribunalsontario.ca/documents/ltb/Tenant%20Applications%20%26%20Instructions/T5_Instructions.html - Instructions for Form T6 (August 2023): https://tribunalsontario.ca/documents/ltb/Tenant%20Applications%20%26%20Instructions/T6_Instructions.html - Legislation Act, 2006, s. 89: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06l21 - Legislation Act, 2006, s. 88: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06l21 - Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, s. 193: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17 - Landlord and Tenant Board Rules of Procedure, Rules 1.12 to 1.16: https://tribunalsontario.ca/documents/ltb/Rules/LTB-Rules_of_Procedure.html - Landlord and Tenant Board Rules of Procedure, Rule 1.1: https://tribunalsontario.ca/documents/ltb/Rules/LTB-Rules_of_Procedure.html - Tenant applications: which form fits (unverified): The code maps each issue to one application.
