LTB Notice Date Calculator

Find the earliest termination date you can put in a notice to end a tenancy in Ontario, from the day you give it and how you deliver it.

Updated for September 21, 2026An N4 for unpaid rent now ends at least 7 days after it is given (it was 14 for a monthly tenancy), and a landlord’s own-use N12 with at least 120 days’ notice no longer needs compensation.
N4 – Notice to End your Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent
2Giving the notice
Posting the notice on the tenant’s door is not a valid way to give it.
Termination date
Earliest termination date for the notice
Friday, November 13, 2026
At least 7 days after November 6, 2026, the day the notice counts as given. A later date also works.
How this was worked out
  • Given on Friday, November 6, 2026, the notice counts as given that day.
  • The termination date must be at least 7 days after that, not counting the day it was given (s. 59(1)): Friday, November 13, 2026 or later.
Good to know
  • The earliest you can apply to the Board to evict for non-payment (Form L1) is the day after the termination date: Saturday, November 14, 2026.
  • The notice is void if the tenant pays all the rent owing, plus any rent that has come due since, before you apply to the Board (s. 59(3)).
  • The N4 has to set out the rent owing, and you can only give it once the rent is late: the day after it was due at the earliest.
Counting the days
  • Don't count the day the notice is given; count the termination date (LTB Rule 1.13). A notice can take effect on a weekend or holiday (Rule 1.15).
  • Mail counts as given on the fifth day after mailing (s. 191(3)). A courier delivery counts as given the next day that isn't a weekend or holiday (Rule 3.9).
  • An N12, N13 or N9 must end on the last day of a rental period, or on the last day of a fixed term (ss. 44, 48(2), 49(3) and 50(2)). An N4 can end on any day at least 7 days after it is given (s. 59(1)).
  • A tenant ending a monthly tenancy at the end of February or March gets a little leeway: notice given by January 1 (for February) or February 1 (for March) counts as 60 days (s. 44(5)).
