Ontario only, current to Bill 60

Never botch an Ontario rent notice again

Compliance software for small landlords, built around the Residential Tenancies Act rather than bolted onto a generic property manager. It works out the date, fills the official Landlord and Tenant Board form, tracks what you are owed, and keeps the proof.

Try it without an account

When could you serve an N4, and when could you file on it?

The same engine that fills the notice, running on your dates. The notice period is 7 days, and the app says which rule produced every date it gives you.

The N4 cannot be given until the day after this.

The day it actually reaches the tenant, not the day you print it.

How you would give it
Counts as given on
October 5, 2026

The day you hand it over

Earliest termination date
October 12, 2026

7 days after it counts as given

Earliest an L1 could be filed

The day after the termination date, under RTA s. 74 (1)

Notice period that applies
7 days

7-day notice period, in effect for notices served on or after September 21, 2026

Why these dates

An N4 served October 5, 2026 must give the tenant at least 7 days: the earliest termination date it can name is October 12, 2026. If the rent is not paid in full, an L1 application can be filed with the LTB from October 13, 2026, the day after that termination date (RTA s. 74 (1)). If the tenant pays everything owed before the termination date, the notice is void.

What it does

Six things a general property manager does not do

Every one of them is Ontario-specific, and every one of them is somewhere a generic tool quietly gets a date or a form wrong.

  1. The official Board forms, filled in

    Your N1, N2, N4, N5, N12 or N13 is filled onto the Board-approved PDF itself, v. 01/04/2022, with the official Certificate of Service and a plain-English cover sheet for your file. Not a lookalike we drew: a notice has to be on the approved form to be servable.

  2. Every date, and the rule behind it

    Earliest lawful increase, guideline cap, N4 termination and L1 filing, N5 remedy periods, N12 termination on the last day of a rental period. Each one comes with the sentence explaining which limit was binding and why.

  3. Prepared and served are two events

    A notice you have printed is not a notice you have given. Nothing counts until you record the service, and serving later than planned is checked again, because the same paper handed over four days late gives the tenant four days less.

  4. An audit trail that holds up

    Every notice keeps a frozen snapshot of the data behind it, the rules version, the engine's verdict, and the checksum of the form version it was filled onto. If it is disputed eighteen months later, you can show your work.

  5. Rent ledger and arrears

    What each tenancy was charged and what it paid, entered by hand. Who is behind, by how much, for how long, and the first day an N4 could lawfully be given for it. An N4 claims rent and only rent, and the dates respect that.

  6. Rent receipts, free and on request

    An Ontario tenant can demand one and a landlord has to provide it free of charge, including for a year after they move out. Generated from the ledger for any date range, on demand.

N4 notice period in effect today

7 days

That number is read, not typed

For an N4 given to a tenant today. The app applies whichever period is right for the day the notice is actually served, and prints on the document which one it used.

Prepared, then served

A notice you have not handed over counts for nothing

Most tools record a notice as served the moment you generate it, from a date you typed into a form. If you then never serve it, everything downstream is confidently wrong: the calendar, the reminders, and, for a rent increase, the rent itself.

Here they are two events. A notice sits as prepared until you record who gave it to the tenant, when, and how. That is also what completes the Certificate of Service, which is a sworn statement about something that happened and should never be filled in from a plan. If the real service date falls later than the planned one, the engine runs again against what actually happened, because the same paper can stop being lawful in the four days it sat on your desk.

A notice detail page for an N12, prepared August 23, 2026 under rules ON-2026.12 on the official LTB N12 version v. 01/04/2022. Its status reads Prepared, not served, planned for August 27, 2026 handed directly to the tenant, with a termination date of October 31, 2026. A compensation panel reads: $2,245.00 is owed to the tenant, equal to 1 month’s rent, and it must be paid on or before October 31, 2026. Longer notice does not waive it on this kind of N12. Further panels explain that until the service is recorded the notice does not appear on the compliance calendar, does not reach reminder emails and does not change the rent; that if served as planned an L2 would have to be filed by November 30, 2026 (RTA s. 69 (2)); and that the 60-day notice period requires the termination date to be the last day of a rental period.
A prepared N12. Prepared is not served. Until the service is recorded the notice counts for nothing.

On a phone

Built for a phone, not shrunk onto one

Checking a deadline usually happens standing in a hallway rather than sitting at a desk. Every screen works at 390px: tables become cards rather than scrolling sideways, and the button that resolves a row is never the thing that falls off the edge.

  • The LandlordKit dashboard, headed What needs doing, above a line reading 8 active tenancies across 3 properties, $14,967.00 a month in rent. Four tiles count 14 items needing doing: 1 urgent, 7 time-sensitive and 6 for information. The first row is deposit interest that fell due yesterday, reading: Unpaid. The tenant may deduct it from a rent payment (s. 106 (9)), so a short payment may not be arrears. Below it are three rent arrears rows with Prepare N4 buttons, each eligible since August 22, 2026, and then a rent increase whose act-by date is today, reading: Last day to serve for an increase taking effect November 22, 2026.
  • The Rent arrears page showing $7,546.42 outstanding across 5 of 8 active tenancies, the longest 8 weeks overdue, with 3 tenancies up to date. A panel headed Some of this may not be arrears explains that one tenancy is owed deposit interest that has fallen due and has not been paid, so under RTA s. 106 (9) up to $29.92 of what is shown as outstanding may be a lawful deduction rather than arrears, and that a notice claiming rent the tenant was entitled to withhold is defective. A second panel explains that the N4 column shows the first day a notice could lawfully be given rather than a deadline. The first row owes $2,946.50 across 2 periods, oldest unpaid July 1, 2026, and reads: N4 can be given from July 2, 2026.
  • The Prepare an N4 notice form. Below the service date, method of service, rent due date and termination date fields, a panel reads: 14-day notice period, in effect for notices served until September 20, 2026. It explains that an N4 served August 24, 2026 must give the tenant at least 14 days, that the earliest termination date it can name is September 7, 2026, that an L1 application can be filed with the LTB from September 8, 2026, the day after that termination date (RTA s. 74 (1)), that the notice is void if the tenant pays everything owed before the termination date, and that because the rent was due July 1, 2026 the notice could not have been given before July 2, 2026, since the tenant has until midnight on the due date to pay.

What Ontario changed

Ontario's N4 rules have changed

Bill 60's amendment to the N4 notice for non-payment of rent is in force, and an N4 given to a tenant today uses the 7-day notice period. A notice served before the change is still read against the rule that applied on the day it was given, which is why the date it was served matters as much as the date on the form. LandlordKit applies whichever notice period is right for the day the notice is actually served, and prints on the document which one it used and why.

7 further changes already in force

Already in force

  1. In force since September 21, 2026N12 compensation waived on 120 days' notice

    A landlord who ends a tenancy because they, a family member or a caregiver will move in owes no compensation if the notice gives 120 days or more and ends on the last day of a rental period. It reaches that notice and nothing else. One month's rent is still owed on shorter notice, on an N12 given on a purchaser's behalf (s. 49.1), and on an N13 for demolition, conversion or repairs (ss. 52 and 54), none of which this amendment touches, however long the notice period is.

  2. In force since September 21, 2026Set-aside test on an L3 order replaced

    An eviction order made without a hearing under RTA s. 77 (4), where the tenant gave notice or the parties agreed to end the tenancy, can be set aside on the tenant's motion within 10 days (s. 77 (6)). Until this date the Board may set it aside if satisfied that it would not be unfair to do so; from this date that discretion is replaced by prescribed circumstances, conditions or tests. The 10 days and the stay of the order while the motion is pending (s. 77 (7)) are unchanged.

  3. In force since September 21, 2026New landlord duties on a repairs N13

    Where a tenant given an N13 for repairs or renovations claims their right of first refusal to move back in, the landlord must tell them in writing, without delay, the estimated date the unit will be ready, any change to that estimate, and when it is ready, and must give them at least 60 days after it is ready to exercise the right. This is from the Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023 rather than from Bill 60, and it happens to share a date with two Bill 60 changes.

Since September 21, 2026

The compensation change is narrower than you have read

Bill 60 waives the month's rent a landlord owes a tenant on an N12, but only on 120 days' notice, and only on one of the reasons a person can give an N12 for. It is reported almost everywhere as covering N12 and N13 notices alike. It does not. Getting this wrong in the generous direction means withholding money you owe.

  1. WaivedN12: You, your family, or a caregiver moving in

    Nothing owed on 120 days' notice or more, if the notice ends on the last day of a rental period. One month's rent on anything shorter.

    RTA s. 48.1 (2), added by 2025, c. 14, Sched. 12, s. 2 (2)

  2. OwedN12: A purchaser, or the purchaser's family, moving in

    One month's rent, or another unit the tenant accepts, however long the notice period is. The waiver does not reach this one.

    RTA s. 49.1

  3. OwedN13: Demolition, conversion, or repairs needing the unit empty

    3 months' rent where the complex has five or more residential units, one month where it has fewer, or another unit the tenant accepts. An N13 has to give at least 120 days anyway, so it can look as though the waiver applies. It never does.

    RTA s. 52 (1), and RTA s. 54 for repairs

N12 compensation waived on 120 days' notice

A landlord who ends a tenancy because they, a family member or a caregiver will move in owes no compensation if the notice gives 120 days or more and ends on the last day of a rental period. It reaches that notice and nothing else. One month's rent is still owed on shorter notice, on an N12 given on a purchaser's behalf (s. 49.1), and on an N13 for demolition, conversion or repairs (ss. 52 and 54), none of which this amendment touches, however long the notice period is.

LandlordKit computes the position for the notice in front of you, states the dollar amount, and prints the section it came from. It is the same rules data the app uses to work out the date on the form, which is why this page cannot claim something the product does not do. Rules version ON-2026.9+bundle:ON-2026.12.

Before you ask

The questions that decide it

Nothing here is a compliance answer. These are questions about the product, and the answers are the ones that would come back if you emailed.

Does it collect rent?

No. No rent is collected, held, or moved, and it never will be. Payments are recorded by a person agreeing that money arrived, and every arrears figure, N4 table and receipt is built on those rows.

What happens if I stop paying?

The account becomes read only. You keep reading everything, downloading any notice already served, recording that a notice was served, keeping the ledger accurate, and exporting the lot. What stops is preparing a new notice.

Where is my data held?

The application and the database both run in Canada, in the Montreal region. The privacy policy says exactly what that does and does not amount to, rather than turning it into a claim about the law.

Is it only for Ontario?

Yes, and that is the point. The engine encodes the Residential Tenancies Act: guideline percentages by year, notice periods, deemed service, compensation. None of it transfers to another province, so none of it is written to.

What if the rules change?

They are versioned data rather than code, so a new guideline or a proclaimed amendment is published without a deploy. Every notice records the rules version it was computed under, so an old document stays reproducible.

How big a portfolio?

The free plan covers 1, and the paid plans go up to 50. Reaching a plan's limit stops you adding a NEW tenancy and stops nothing else: everything already on the account carries on in full, every notice, every download and the export included. Past the largest plan, get in touch and we will sort out the right price at that size.

Not ready to sign up?

Leave an address and we will write when an Ontario rule changes in a way that costs landlords money, and when the product does something it did not do before. Nothing else.

Your address, and nothing else. No account, no newsletter you did not ask for, and no sharing it with anyone. Ask and we delete it.
