Do I need to send my paperwork to the city council if I am challenging a repair order?

Because you are applying to the Board for a review of the work order issued by the municipal inspector on October 14th, you have specific duties regarding paperwork. Under the law, the applicant "shall, within the time set out in the Rules, give the local municipality, (a) a copy of the application; and (b) a copy of any notice of hearing issued by the Board in respect of the application" [cite:ca-ontario-rta-2006-sec189p1]. This means you cannot simply give your documents to the Board and assume the city is informed; you are responsible for delivering the application and the notice of hearing directly to the municipality yourself [cite:ca-ontario-rta-2006-sec189p1]. Additionally, you must provide proof that you actually sent these documents. The law states that "The applicant shall, in the circumstances set out in the Rules, file with the Board a certificate of service on the local municipality in the form approved by the Board" [cite:ca-ontario-rta-2006-sec189p1]. A certificate of service is a formal document that proves you gave the required papers to the other party. While the landlord has the right to apply for a review if they are unsatisfied with the terms of an order [cite:ca-ontario-rta-2006-sec226], your situation involves enforcing or reviewing the order through the Board. It is important to note that the specific deadlines for these actions are found in the Board's Rules, rather than in the text of the Act itself. State, provincial, or local laws may add further rules, so you should check the specific procedural rules of the Landlord and Tenant Board.
