For most types of tenancies (including monthly tenancies) the termination date must be at least 60 days after the tenant gives the landlord this notice. Also, the termination date must be the last day of the rental period. For example, if the tenant pays on the first day of each month, the termination date must be the last day of the month. If the tenancy is for a fixed term (for example, a lease for one year), the termination date cannot be earlier than the last date of the fixed term.

Exceptions:

• The termination date must at least 28 days after the tenant gives the landlord this notice if the tenancy is daily or weekly (the tenant pays rent daily or weekly). Also, the termination date must be the last day of the rental period. For example, if the tenant pays rent weekly each Monday, the termination date must be a Sunday. If the tenancy is for a fixed term, the termination date cannot be earlier than the last date of the fixed term.
• A special rule allows less than 60 days' notice in situations where the tenant would normally be required to give 60 days notice (for example, monthly tenancies). The tenant can give notice for the end of February no later than January 1st and can give notice for the end of March no later than February 1st.

The landlord can apply to the Board for an order to end the tenancy and evict the tenant as soon as the tenant gives the landlord this notice. However, if the Board issues an order ending the tenancy, the order will not require the tenant to move out any earlier than the termination date the tenant included in this notice.

The termination date set out in this notice can be 10 days (or more) after the tenant gives this notice to the landlord if the landlord has given the tenant either an N12 Notice to End your Tenancy or an N13 Notice to End your Tenancy. The termination date does not have to be the last day of a rental period.

The tenant can use this notice to end the tenancy if the tenant asked the landlord for permission to assign the rental unit to someone else, and the landlord refused. The termination date must be:

• at least 28 days after the tenant gives the notice to the landlord if the tenancy is daily or weekly,
• at least 30 days after the tenant gives the notice to landlord if the tenancy is anything other than daily or weekly.

The termination date does not have to be the last day of a rental period or the last day of a fixed term.

A landlord cannot require the tenant to sign an N9 Tenant's Notice to End the Tenancy as a condition of agreeing to rent a unit. A tenant does not have to move out based on this notice if the landlord required the tenant to sign it when the tenant agreed to rent the unit.

Exceptions: A landlord can require a tenant to sign an N9 Tenant's Notice to End the Tenancy as a condition of agreeing to rent a rental unit in the following two situations:

• The tenant is a student living in accommodation provided by a post-secondary institution or by a landlord who has an agreement with the post-secondary school to provide the accommodation.
• The tenant is occupying a rental unit in a care home for the purposes of receiving rehabilitative or therapeutic services, and
  • the tenant agreed to occupy the rental unit for not more than 4 years,
  • the tenancy agreement set out that the tenant can be evicted when the objectives of providing the care services have been met or will not be met, and
  • the rental unit is provided to the tenant under an agreement between the landlord and a service manager under the Housing Services Act, 2011.

The tenant must move out and remove all their personal possessions from the rental unit by the termination date set out on page 1. If the tenant moves out by the termination date set out above, but leaves behind personal possessions, the tenant will no longer have any rights to those possessions and the landlord will be allowed to dispose of them.
