Eviction Notice Response Wizard
A notice of termination is not the same as an eviction — in almost all cases, your landlord must get an order from the Landlord and Tenant Board first. This wizard walks through the notice you received to give you a personalized response plan and deadline check.
The Notice You Received
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an eviction notice mean I have to move out immediately?
No. A notice of termination is the first step, not an eviction. In almost all cases, your landlord must apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board and get an order, and even then, only the Sheriff's office can enforce an eviction — a landlord cannot remove you or your belongings themselves.
Can paying my rent stop an N4 eviction?
In many cases, yes. Paying the full amount of rent actually owed (not late fees or other charges) before the termination date, or in some cases up until the LTB hearing, can void an N4 notice — but the specific timing and amount matter.
What is my right of first refusal under an N13 notice?
If your landlord serves an N13 for renovations in a building with 5 or more units, you generally have the right to move back into your unit at the same rent once the work is done, provided you give the landlord written notice that you want this right before you move out.
Does this wizard tell me whether my notice is valid?
No. This tool identifies the factors relevant to your specific situation and organizes your response and evidence — it does not provide a legal opinion on the validity of your specific notice, which depends on the exact form, service, and facts involved.
What happens if I don't respond to an LTB application?
If you don't file a response or attend the hearing, the Board can make a decision based only on the landlord's evidence, which is far less likely to go in your favour than if you participate and present your side.
