The LTB warns that application mistakes or missing required documents can result in delay or dismissal. Under RTA s. 204 and LTB Interpretation Guideline 3, the Board only awards the application filing fee as standard costs; consequential mortgage penalties, discharge fees, and private solicitor legal fees cannot be claimed through an LTB application or added to an N4 rent arrears notice. Mortgage enforcement expenses belong under mortgage remedies in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, not the LTB.LTB application and hearing processLTB Rules of ProcedureLTB Interpretation Guideline 3: Costs
