Ottawa Real Estate Board Welcomes Ontario’s Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025
October 24, 2025
The Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB) welcomes the Ontario government’s Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025, which proposes to improve efficiency, shorten case timelines, reduce procedural delays, and improve fairness and efficiency at the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).
Ottawa continues to face mounting affordability pressures and growing demand for housing. As an association representing landlords and tenants, OREB encourages the province to balance changes to Ontario’s tenancy lease framework regarding month-to-month leases alongside maintaining strong protections for both parties, while also addressing the patchwork of renoviction by-laws in municipalities across the province that are hurting small landlords.
OREB believes that the province can succeed by working with municipalities to empower renters with education and information about their existing rights under the Residential Tenancies Act. Furthermore, we would like to see the province commit to publishing additional data on the use of N13 applications by landlords to end a tenancy. OREB members work with tenants and landlords in Ottawa every day, and our members are ready to play their part in better protecting existing tenant rights.
As a long-time advocate for housing policy that boosts housing supply and improves affordability, OREB looks forward to working with the province and the City of Ottawa to ensure these reforms translate into real results for homebuyers, renters, and REALTORS® across our region.
