New LTB Procedures: Managing Tenant Non‑Payment in 2025

If a tenant doesn't pay rent when it's due, Ontario landlords must follow a prescribed process under the Residential Tenancies Act:

1. Serve an N4 Notice: The Landlord must issue a "Notice to End a Tenancy Early for Non‑payment of Rent" (Form N4). Month-to-month tenants get at least 14 days to pay or vacate from the date the notice is given tribunalsontario.ca+15tribunalsontario.ca+15mipropertyportal.com+15toronto.citynews.ca+5blueanchorpm.rent+5en.wikipedia.org+5.

2. Tenant has a grace window: If the tenant pays the full arrears (plus any rent due after notice) before the deadline, the N4 becomes null tribunalsontario.ca.

3. File LTB Application (L1 or L9): If the tenant doesn't comply by the deadline, landlords can apply to the LTB. Use Form L1 to both collect owed rent and evict, or L9 to collect only youtube.com+10tribunalsontario.ca+10landlordselfhelp.com+10.

4. Hearing & Order: A hearing is scheduled, and the LTB issues an order—either dismissal, payment plan (conditional), or eviction order typically requiring payment within about 11 days reddit.com+5learn.openroom.ca+5blog.rhenti.com+5.

5. Enforcement by Sheriff: If the tenant doesn’t comply, landlords can file the eviction order with the sheriff’s office for enforcement tribunalsontario.ca+11landlordselfhelp.com+11learn.openroom.ca+11.
