Navigating the Landlord and Tenant Board: Insights from Nicole Fazzari, Licensed Paralegal

At A.G. Secure Property Management, we recently had the privilege of sitting down with Nicole Fazzari, Licensed Paralegal with DePalma and Associates, for an informative session focused on navigating the complexities of the Landlord and Tenant Board (LLTB).

This session was an excellent opportunity for our clients to dispel common myths about evictions and landlord rights, while learning the right way to handle tricky situations. Nicole brought clarity, practical advice, and a deep understanding of the LLTB process that every landlord should know.

Key Takeaways from Our Conversation with Nicole:

• Agreements to Terminate
  When done correctly, a “cash for keys” arrangement can benefit both landlord and tenant—and most importantly, avoid the LLTB altogether. Nicole explained how to structure these agreements legally and respectfully.
• Current LLTB Lead Times
  While hearing timelines have slightly improved, they are still longer than ideal. Nicole shared the latest turnaround times for various application types and how best to prepare for delays.
• Moving a Family Member into a Rental Unit
  Many landlords think this is a simple process, but it’s one of the most commonly misunderstood areas. Nicole emphasized the importance of strict compliance with LLTB rules, as failure to follow them can lead to costly consequences.

One of the most important takeaways?
Getting the right legal advice early on might cost you a consultation—but it could save you thousands in the long run.
