Landlord Litigation is a Toronto based team of commercial litigation lawyers who practice under Cambridge LLP and focus specifically on representing landlords in disputes with tenants. The group handles evictions for non payment of rent and lease default, along with the negotiation, mediation, and commercial arbitration that often go with those disputes. Its office is on the fourth floor of 333 Adelaide Street West, the same building where Cambridge LLP keeps its Toronto office.
The practice is directed by Chris MacLeod and Ruzbeh Hosseini, both partners at Cambridge LLP. MacLeod has represented commercial landlords in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area since 2002, has appeared before every level of court in Ontario including the Court of Appeal, and served as co-counsel for an intervenor at the Supreme Court of Canada in Canada (Prime Minister) v. Khadr, 2010 SCC 3. Hosseini has completed Canada's certification training for qualified arbitrators and is regularly involved in mediation and both domestic and international arbitration. Clients can choose an hourly-rate retainer with fee estimates or a block fee arrangement, and the firm says it can turn around a preliminary action plan within three hours of a submission at no charge.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Landlord Litigation's Toronto office sits on the fourth floor of 333 Adelaide Street West. The building at 331 to 333 Adelaide Street West dates to 1925, one of the older low rise properties still standing on a block in what's now Toronto's Entertainment District, mixed in among newer office and condo towers. It's also the building that houses Cambridge LLP's Toronto office, so the landlord litigation team works alongside colleagues from the firm's business litigation, real estate litigation, and insolvency and restructuring groups.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Landlord Litigation only act for commercial landlords, or does it take on residential matters too?
- The team's main focus is representing commercial landlords in disputes over unpaid rent and lease default, but its blog has also covered residential landlord and tenant issues. If your matter is residential, contact the firm directly to ask whether it can take it on.
- Can Landlord Litigation help if a commercial tenant has stopped paying rent?
- Yes. Evictions for non payment of rent and lease default are a core part of the practice, along with the notices and enforcement steps that go along with them.
- What if a commercial tenant becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy?
- The firm has written about a commercial landlord's rights when a tenant goes bankrupt, and its lawyers also handle business disputes more broadly, so this is within the team's experience. The specifics depend on the lease and the insolvency proceeding, so it's worth calling to discuss the file.
- Does the firm handle mediation or arbitration instead of going to court?
- Yes. Landlord Litigation offers mediation and commercial arbitration alongside court litigation, and director Ruzbeh Hosseini has completed Canada's certification training for qualified arbitrators.
- How does billing work, and how fast can the firm start on a file?
- Clients can choose an hourly-rate retainer with fee estimates to help manage the budget, or a block fee arrangement with a set quote for each stage of the dispute. The firm says it provides a preliminary action plan within three hours of a submission at no charge.
- Where is Landlord Litigation located and how do I reach the team?
- The office is at 333 Adelaide Street West, 4th Floor, Toronto. You can call 416-400-9955, email director@landlordlitigation.ca, or submit a case through the firm's online portal.
