Landlord Tenant Board forms

Notice to End a Tenancy (Form N4)

A minor change has been made to the wording on the Notice to End a Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (Form N4).  The explanation as to the amount the tenant must pay to avoid termination has been reworded.  The revised notice is available at all our offices and from the Notices of Termination page of our website. 

Although the Board encourages landlords to use this notice form immediately, the Board is providing a transition period until December 14, 2009 for landlords to use the old Form N4.  However, as of December 15, 2009, landlords must use the revised N4 notice.

After December 15, 2009, if the new form is not used you run the risk of the having your client's application dismissed.
