Certified Transcripts for Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) Matters
Proceedings before the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) are recorded by Tribunals Ontario, but the Board does not produce or provide official written transcripts. Under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (RTA) and the Statutory Powers Procedure Act (SPPA), parties who need a certified, admissible written transcript for LTB Reconsiderations, Divisional Court Appeals, or Judicial Reviews must independently transcribe the official audio recording.
Toronto Court Reporting turns raw LTB hearing audio recordings (MP4, MP3, WAV) into certified, fully formatted legal transcripts. We also provide independent live court reporters for high-stakes, multi-day LTB hearings to capture the record in real time.
| Transcript & Hearing Feature | LTB Audio File vs. Certified Official Transcript |
|---|---|
| Source File Format | Raw portal audio downloads (MP4 / MP3 format) obtained from Tribunals Ontario. |
| Legal Admissibility | Uncertified audio files are typically non-admissible as formal evidence in Divisional Court. |
| Formatting Standard | Certified legal transcript format complete with speaker identification, line numbers, and certificates. |
| Primary Use Cases | Essential for LTB Review Requests, Rule 18 Reconsiderations, and Divisional Court Appeals. |
| Specialized Terminology | Precise transcription of N-forms (N4, N5, N12, N13), L-applications, AGIs, and RTA statutory rules. |
| Turnaround Options | Standard 10-Day, Expedited 3-Day, or 24-Hour Urgent turnarounds available for strict appeal windows. |
