Understand a notice or document

Received something from your landlord, the Landlord and Tenant Board, a court, or the sheriff? This guided review walks you through your document field by field, so you know what it appears to say and which dates matter.

RTO Pro does not determine whether a document is valid

No tool can reliably decide whether a notice or order is legally valid. Only the Landlord and Tenant Board or a court can decide that, and only a qualified legal professional can advise you about your specific document. This tool helps you read and organize what the document appears to say — nothing more.

Automated document upload and information extractionIn development

Uploading a document and having key details identified automatically is in development. Nothing you see on this page uploads files or analyzes documents for you.

What works today: the guided manual review below. You keep your document in front of you, and the guide shows you where each key field usually appears and helps you record it accurately. The result is an organized summary you can copy, bring to a legal clinic, or keep with your records.

Guided manual review

Walk through your document, field by field

Pick the kind of document you received, then transcribe the key details exactly as they appear. Copy carefully — small differences in dates and names can matter.

What to do with what you found

Add the dates to your deadline tracker

Termination dates, hearing dates, and response windows are easy to lose in a stressful week. Put every date from your document into the deadline tracker so they stay visible.

Preserve the original document

Keep the paper or file exactly as you received it — including the envelope, email, or message it arrived with. Record where it is stored in the evidence index.

Get the document reviewed

Bring your summary and the original document to a community legal clinic, lawyer, or licensed paralegal. Find legal help — much of it is free for tenants.
