LTB N8: Notice to End your Tenancy at the End of the Term

What the N8 is

The N8 ends a tenancy at the end of its term rather than early. Its most common ground is persistent late payment of rent — a pattern of paying late month after month, even if the tenant always eventually pays. Other grounds include the tenant no longer qualifying for subsidized housing, or the tenancy having been created because of employment that has ended.

For a monthly tenancy the tenant must get at least 60 days’ notice, and the termination date must be the last day of a rental period or the end of the fixed term. If the tenant stays past the date, the landlord files an L2 application, where the LTB weighs the payment history and any explanation the tenant offers.

How to fill it out

1. Choose the ground and tick the matching box. For persistent late payment, the details section should list the months affected and when rent was actually paid — a simple table of “due date vs. paid date” covering the last 8–12 months is persuasive.
2. Termination date: at least 60 days out (28 days for daily/weekly tenancies) and the last day of a rental period. A mid-month date invalidates the notice.
3. Sign, date, serve using an RTA-permitted method and keep proof of service.
4. If the tenant remains, file the L2 — bring rent ledgers and bank records to the hearing. An N4 for any current arrears can run in parallel; they are different grounds.
