Estimate the key dates in an Ontario non-payment-of-rent (N4) eviction process, from notice to a likely LTB hearing window.
Estimate only — not legal advice. LTB hearing wait times are not officially fixed and vary by region and caseload.In Ontario, an N4 is the notice a landlord serves for non-payment of rent. The termination date on the N4 must be at least 14 days away for a monthly or yearly tenancy (7 days for a daily or weekly tenancy). A tenant can cancel the N4 by paying all rent owed before that date. Only after the date passes without payment can the landlord apply to the LTB using Form L1 — eviction still requires an LTB order enforced by the Sheriff.
Monthly/annual tenancies get 14 days' notice; daily/weekly tenancies get 7 days.
After the notice period ends, the landlord may file Form L1 with the LTB.
Under RTA s.74, paying the full amount owed at several stages can void the eviction.
Current scheduling is faster than in past years, but still not instant — plan accordingly.
