Call your legal clinic and ask them to represent you at the hearing.
Some legal clinics have refused to represent tenants who won’t sign dangerous repayment plans. This is not OK. If they refuse, ask for a letter confirming their denial of service.
At the hearing a tenant can tell their side of the story. The LTB has the power to deny the landlord’s eviction case or to give the tenant time to repay the rent owing.
You will be given a minimum of 11 days but tenants can ask for more time to repay.
