LTB Portal Login: How to Access Tribunals Ontario Online
Where to log into the LTB portal, set up your Public Secure account, and go from a blank account to a filed application, a paid fee, and uploaded evidence.
Accessing the LTB Portal
You log into the LTB portal at the Tribunals Ontario Portal sign-in with your Public Secure account. First time? You need to create that account first; start at the Tribunals Ontario Portal page. From there you file an application, pay the fee, upload evidence, and check where a case stands. The steps below walk you through each one.
Tribunals Ontario Portal
Log in to the portalBill 60 and Bill 97 changes landed in two waves
The first changes took effect July 1, 2026: LTB order review requests must now be filed within 15 days (down from 30), repayment plans must use the mandatory LTB Payment Agreement Form, and maximum RTA fines doubled to $100,000 for individuals and $500,000 for corporations. The 7-day N4 and the N12 compensation waiver came into force September 21, 2026. See the LTB's September 21 update and our Ontario RTA changes 2026 guide for the full breakdown.
LTB emails changed senders on July 24, 2026
As of July 24, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., every notification the Tribunals Ontario Portal sends now comes from ltbdonotreply@tribunalsontario.ca, not the old ltbdonotreply@ontario.ca. If your contacts list or spam filter is still set up for the old address, a hearing notice or an order could land in your junk folder and you might not see it until it's too late. Add the new address to your contacts, delete the old one, and check your spam folder. See the official notice for the full details.
Creating an Account
The Tribunals Ontario Portal uses a Public Secure account:
- Go to the Tribunals Ontario Portal page

Looking Up Past LTB Orders
Since July 24, 2026, Tribunals Ontario has been publishing final LTB orders on the province's Open Data Catalogue. It covers orders issued from January to July 2026 so far, and newer orders appear 2 to 3 months after they're issued. Orders under a confidentiality order aren't included, and historical orders back to 2021 are being added in phases. If you want to see how the Board has ruled on an issue similar to yours before your own hearing, this is now a real place to check. For older orders, CanLII is still worth a look.
