Ontario Form N4

Notice to End a Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent

Serve this notice when a tenant has not paid rent. This is the first step before filing an L1.

No subscription. One-time payment. Instant PDF download.

Who needs this form?

Landlords whose tenant has not paid rent

When to use it

As soon as rent is overdue. Do not wait — every day of delay extends your timeline.

What happens next

The tenant has 14 days (monthly/annual tenancy) to pay all rent owed or move out. If they don't, you can file an L1 application with the LTB.

Common mistakes

  • Wrong termination date — must be exactly 14 days after service for monthly tenants
  • Incorrect rent amount — must match the lease exactly
  • Serving by the wrong method — method affects when the notice is deemed received
  • Not completing a Certificate of Service after serving
