Latest Update from Openroom

As of Wednesday, May 22, 2024, we no longer accept Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) applications.‍

What are applications?

‍Applications are documentation which parties in a dispute would file with the LTB and await a hearing for. These are not the Tribunal Decisions that are issued once a hearing is held. These are pre-LTB hearing documents.

Openroom is doubling down on our efforts surrounding all tenancy related court orders from across the nation and all levels of our legal system, without the distraction of applications as it has not added fundamental value to our community to build towards a transparent and connected rental ecosystem future.

Why did we make this decision?

We want to be transparent and to share our decision making process with you. You are building Openroom with us and you need to know why we made this decision.

• At the time of writing this, we have roughly 15,000 aggregated court orders inside the Openroom system. Applications resulted in less than 2% or ~300 of the submissions from our community. That's tiny!
  ‍
• We've been reading your feedback and you've expressed concerns about publicizing applications without a hearing. We hear you!

What will happen with applications in the database today? All previously submitted applications have been removed.As always, thank you for your continued support in building Openroom with us.
