How We Help Ontario Landlords
Whatever your tenant situation, we handle it on the landlord side, start to finish.
Non-Payment of Rent (N4)
When a tenant falls behind on rent, acting quickly can make all the difference. Our team prepares and serves the appropriate notices, files your application with the Landlord and Tenant Board, and represents you throughout the process to help you recover possession of your property and outstanding rent.
Personal Use & Property Sale (N12 Services)
Whether you’re planning to move into your rental property or selling to a buyer who needs vacant possession, one mistake can delay the process by months. Our team prepares the required notices, manages the paperwork, and represents you before the Landlord and Tenant Board so you can move forward with confidence.
Persistent late payment of rent (N8)
When late rent becomes a pattern, you don’t have to keep accepting it. Our team helps landlords address persistent late payment issues by preparing the required notices, filing the necessary applications, and representing you before the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Cash-for-Keys and Negotiated Move-Outs
A properly negotiated Cash-for-Keys agreement can save months of waiting and thousands in lost rent. Our team handles the negotiations, prepares the agreement, and helps you secure a smooth, legally documented move-out.
LTB Hearings and Representation
Navigating the Landlord and Tenant Board can be overwhelming. Our experienced team represents Ontario landlords at LTB hearings, prepares the required documents, and advocates on your behalf. From your initial application to the final order, we’re with you every step of the way.
Landlords’ Defence Of Tenant Applications (T2/T6)
If a tenant has filed a T2 or T6 application against you, it’s important to respond effectively. Our team helps Ontario landlords prepare their evidence, organize their case, and provide professional representation before the Landlord and Tenant Board. We’ll guide you through the process and advocate for your interests at every stage.

Why landlords choose Stonegate

We’re Landlords Too
We own rental properties ourselves, so we understand the financial impact of unpaid rent, lengthy LTB delays, and difficult tenancies. We don’t just know the law. We know what it’s like to be in your position, and we approach every file with that perspective.
Experienced Representation
Landlord and Tenant Board matters require preparation, attention to detail, and a clear strategy. Our team represents Ontario landlords in LTB proceedings every day, helping clients navigate the process with confidence from the initial notice through to the final hearing.

What Landlords Say
I had the pleasure of working with Bita on several landlord and tenant matters, and I highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable, professional, and reliable, always providing clear advice and strong support for my clients.
Ravi was extremely insightful and informative on helping me deal with our tenant issue!
I cannot recommend Andrew McMaster highly enough. From start to finish, the level of professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care exceeded my expectations.
They took the time to explain everything clearly, were incredibly thorough and detail-oriented, and always made me feel supported throughout the process. Communication was prompt, transparent, and reassuring, which made a stressful situation much easier to navigate.

Background - Stonegate Legal Services helped me with the N11 lease-end process with a challenging tenant. Would like to appreciate my Thanks to Anome Mehrabian for her professional service, knowledge, meticulous paperwork, and prompt responses.
I had a quick consult call with Stonegate and based off of this, I would recommend them to any landlord needing guidance and legal services. I appreciated that they reviewed my notes prior to the call so we could dive right into the nitty gritty of my situation.
Ravis was phenomenal! She was knowledgeable and took the time to explain areas where we had additional questions. It was an added benefit that she understood the language the tenant spoke and was able to call ‘bs’ on them during the hearing. Thank you, Ravis. I hope we never have to go through this again, but if we do I know who to call.
My dealings with Stonegate and particularly with Berkan were excellent. I was dealing with a tenant who would not voluntarily leave so that I could sell my property, and Berkan offered excellent options and advice all the way through the process.
I used stonegate recently to draft a cash for keys agreement and to file N11. They are very professional and responsive. The process was smooth and got my order within a week of filing. Berkan Altun provided excellent services.
I used Stonegate Legal Services, with my issue with my tenant. I would like to say, that Stonegate Legal Services is a really top notch company, and I was very pleased with them. They handled everything from start to finish.
