We represent both landlords and tenants in disputes involving leases, unpaid rent, maintenance issues, or eviction applications before the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).
With detailed knowledge of Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act, we help resolve issues fairly and efficiently.
Real Estate Litigation
When disputes can’t be resolved through negotiation, we provide experienced representation in court for breach of contract, failed closings, or misrepresentation claims.
Our litigation approach focuses on early resolution while being fully prepared to protect your interests in trial if necessary.
From routine transactions to complex property disputes, Pellizzari Law provides skilled legal guidance tailored to your real estate needs.

Real Estate Law FAQ
Yes. In Ontario, a real estate lawyer is required to complete the closing process. They review your Agreement of Purchase and Sale, perform title searches, prepare mortgage documents, and ensure all legal requirements are met before transferring ownership.
Your lawyer confirms title ownership, registers the property transfer, handles funds through trust, and ensures taxes, liens, and mortgage discharges are properly settled. Their role is to protect your legal and financial interests throughout the transaction.
You should contact a lawyer as soon as an offer is accepted — ideally before signing. Early legal review helps avoid costly mistakes, missed deadlines, or clauses that don’t protect your best interests.
A title search verifies property ownership and checks for liens, easements, or other restrictions. Your lawyer conducts this search to confirm that the seller has a clear right to transfer ownership and that no hidden issues affect your purchase.
If a deal collapses, the consequences depend on the contract. You may lose a deposit or face a claim for damages. A real estate lawyer can review your agreement and advise on remedies or possible legal action to recover losses.
Property transfers in Guelph and surrounding areas are completed electronically through Ontario’s Land Registry Office (ServiceOntario) system. Your lawyer manages the registration process and ensures all documentation is correctly filed.
No. Ontario law prevents a lawyer from representing both sides in the same transaction due to a conflict of interest. Each party must have independent legal representation to ensure fair and unbiased advice.
Pellizzari Law represents residential and commercial clients throughout Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge, providing full-service support for transactions, disputes, and real estate litigation.
Residential law covers personal property purchases and sales, while commercial law deals with business properties, leases, and financing. Commercial transactions often involve more complex contracts, tax considerations, and due diligence requirements.
A lawyer can assist with lease drafting, enforcement, and Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) applications for eviction or rent recovery. They ensure compliance with Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act and protect your rights as a landlord or tenant.
