Ontario's Landlord and Tenant Board isn't working for anyone, so how do the parties plan to fix it?

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing issues with Ontario's Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB), highlighting its inefficiencies and the dissatisfaction from both landlords and tenants. The LTB, responsible for resolving disputes between landlords and tenants, has been criticized for its long wait times, with some cases taking over two years to resolve. This backlog has led to significant frustration, with landlords unable to evict problematic tenants or regain possession of their properties, and tenants facing delays in addressing issues like maintenance or illegal evictions. The article explores how political parties in Ontario are addressing these problems. The Progressive Conservatives have promised to increase funding and staffing for the LTB, while the NDP has proposed a comprehensive reform including more adjudicators and a rent control policy. The Liberals have suggested a tribunal system overhaul to make it more efficient. However, all parties acknowledge the need for change, but differ in their approaches to fixing the systemic issues within the LTB.
