The application a landlord files at the LTB after an N4 to seek eviction.

After serving an N4, a landlord files an L1 to ask the LTB for an eviction order and the rent owed. You'll get a hearing — attend it. You can usually still stop the eviction by paying everything owed plus costs before the Sheriff enforces the order.
Key points
- Follows an unpaid N4
- You get a hearing — attend it
