About Ontario LTB Form N9, Tenant's Notice to End the Tenancy
Form N9, Tenant's Notice to End the Tenancy, is a Landlord and Tenant Board form that a tenant in Ontario uses to tell their landlord in writing that they intend to move out. It sets out the address, the tenant and landlord names, and the date the tenant plans to leave. The Residential Tenancies Act sets how much notice you must give, and the correct amount depends on your type of tenancy, with a longer period for yearly and monthly tenancies and a shorter period for daily or weekly ones.
You fill it in when you have decided to end your tenancy and want to leave on your own terms rather than because of a dispute. Getting the move out date and the notice period right matters, since a date that does not follow the rules can make the notice ineffective. This page is a free fillable helper and a general guide, not legal advice, so always download and file the current official Form N9 from the Landlord and Tenant Board and check your required notice period there.
