Landlord and Tenant Board forms

Notice of Rent Increase

Raise the rent for a unit that is covered by the rent-increase guideline (not an exempt unit and not a care home). Give it at least 90 days before the increase.

Notice of Rent Increase (Unit Partially Exempt)

Raise the rent for a unit that is exempt from the rent-increase limits, for example one first occupied for residential purposes after November 15, 2018.

Notice to Increase the Rent and/or Charges for Care Services and Meals

Raise the rent and/or the charges for care services and meals for a unit in a care home, such as a retirement home.

Agreement to Increase the Rent Above the Guideline

The landlord and tenant agree to an increase above the guideline (up to the guideline plus 3%) because of capital work or a new or additional service. Both sign it.

Notice to End your Tenancy Early For Non-payment of Rent

The tenant has not paid the full rent on the date it was due and still lives in the unit. Give it no earlier than the day after the rent was due; the tenant has at least 7 days to pay.

Before you choose it: Only rent can be claimed — not NSF charges, the last month’s rent deposit, or utilities the tenant pays to the utility company. If the tenant has moved out, the LTB instructions point to Form L10 instead.

Notice to End your Tenancy Because the Landlord, a Purchaser or a Family Member Requires the Rental Unit

You (an individual landlord), a listed family member or a caregiver will move in for at least a year — or you signed an Agreement of Purchase and Sale and the purchaser, their listed family member or a caregiver will move in.

Before you choose it: A corporation cannot give this notice. For a purchaser, the complex must have no more than 3 residential units. You may not be able to use it if the complex was converted to a condominium, severed, or is an equity co-op. One month’s rent compensation usually applies.

Notice to End your Tenancy For Interfering with Others, Damage or Overcrowding

The tenant, a guest or another occupant substantially interfered with others’ reasonable enjoyment or lawful rights, wilfully or negligently damaged the unit or complex, or more people live in the unit than health, safety or housing standards permit.

Before you choose it: A first N5 gives the tenant 7 days to correct the problem (termination date at least 20 days after you give it); a second N5 within 6 months cannot be voided (at least 14 days). If you live in a building with three or fewer units, or can prove the damage was wilful, the instructions point to Form N7 instead.

Notice to End your Tenancy at the End of the Term

The tenant has persistently paid rent late, no longer qualifies for public or subsidized housing, had the unit as a condition of employment that has ended, has a tenancy tied to a terminated condominium purchase agreement, or the agreed period of rehabilitative or therapeutic care has ended.

Before you choose it: The termination date must be at least 60 days after you give it (28 days for daily or weekly tenancies) and the last day of a rental period or fixed term. Not for a tenant who only lost rent-geared-to-income assistance (N4), or for a superintendent (apply with L2).

Notice to End your Tenancy Because the Landlord Wants to Demolish the Rental Unit, Repair it or Convert it to Another Use

You intend to demolish the unit or complex, need the unit vacant for repairs or renovations so extensive that a building permit is required, or intend to convert the unit or complex to a non-residential use.

Before you choose it: The termination date must be at least 120 days after you give it (1 year if the tenant owns a mobile home or land lease home on the site) and the last day of a rental period or fixed term. Compensation of 1 or 3 months' rent (or another acceptable unit) usually applies; for repairs the tenant can choose to move back in.

Tenant's Notice to End the Tenancy

For tenants: you want to move out and end your tenancy. Filled in and signed by the tenant (or the tenant's representative) and given to the landlord.

Before you choose it: Usually at least 60 days' notice (28 for daily or weekly tenancies), ending on the last day of a rental period and not before the end of a fixed term. Shorter periods apply if the landlord gave you an N12 or N13 (10 days), refused an assignment, or you live in a care home. For fear of domestic or sexual violence, the LTB uses Form N15 instead.

Agreement to End the Tenancy

The landlord and the tenant agree that the tenancy will end on a set date. Signed by the tenant(s) and the landlord.

Before you choose it: A landlord cannot require the tenant to sign it as a condition of renting the unit (except certain student housing and care-home units).
