Regarding the appeal process with the Residential Tenancies Commission, there are two ways to appeal:

1. Going to their offices at 155 Carlton St. (suite 1650) and filing an appeal in person.

2. Mailing their office (1650 - 155 Carlton St. R3C 3H8) with the following information:
> Your Name & Address
> RTB order #
> Photocopy of the RTB order

*** NOTE *** it's not necessary to write a letter with any particular details at this point. The only thing you need are the items above: i.e. who you are, where you are & copy of RTB order.

The deadline is Monday, 27 April -- and if it's postmarked by that date it will be accepted as on time.

About the RTC's appeal process:

1. They open the file and assign an appeal officer. Apparently this officer will be an accessible point person for us, tenants. We will be able to discuss & ask questions of this individual.

2. Appeal Officer reviews all the previous documents/files associated with this case (obtained from the RTB).

3. A hearing date is set, generally within a month or so of the file opening. Tenants will recieve approximately 3 weeks notice for this hearing.

4. We will receive a *scheduled time* (approx. 2 weeks prior to hearing) to come view the file documents. By the sounds of it, this is a specific day/time that, if not convenient for certain tenants, they will be able to reschedule.

5. We attend the hearing and present our case.

Keep checking back for more information.

We will have an email for you to contact for more questions, but please read through the info here on this site first.

Thanks.
