Landlord and Tenant Board application fees.
Every province runs its own residential tenancy tribunal under its own name, with its own application fees. Ontario alone has more than a dozen application types at different prices — this shows one representative landlord fee and one representative tenant fee per jurisdiction.
British Columbia is the simplest: a flat $100 whichever party applies. Ontario's cheapest online tenant application is $48; its most common landlord application is $186 online.

Common mix-ups
-
Often assumedLandlords and tenants pay the same fee to file at the Landlord and Tenant Board.
What the source saysTribunals Ontario's fee table lists L1 and several other landlord applications at $186 through the portal, while the tenant applications T1, T2, T5 and T6 are $48 through the portal. [1]
-
Often assumedIf I withdraw or change my mind about an LTB application, the fee comes back.
What the source saysThe fee page says LTB fees are non-refundable. The one refund it describes is for an email-filed application whose payment is not followed by a submission within 24 hours. [1]
-
Often assumedSomeone who cannot afford the LTB fee simply cannot file.
What the source saysTribunals Ontario lists a Fee Waiver Request form, filed by mail, courier or at ServiceOntario. The fee page does not set out the eligibility criteria, so check the form before relying on it. [1]

One representative fee per party, not every form
Most of these tribunals charge different fees for different application TYPES (eviction vs. compensation vs. maintenance, for example) and often a lower rate for filing online. The figures above are each jurisdiction's most commonly filed form, not an exhaustive fee schedule. Confirm the exact fee for your specific application on the tribunal's own site before filing.
