Eviction Notice Deadline Calculator
In Ontario, an N4 non-payment notice needs at least 14 days and is voided by paying in full; an N5 gives a 7-day correction window; an N12 needs 60 days plus compensation; an N13 needs 120 days. Enter the dates on your notice below to see every deadline that applies to you.
First: a notice is not an eviction. Only the Landlord and Tenant Board can end your tenancy, after a hearing. You don't have to move out because a form arrived.
What the deadlines mean
- N4: the termination date must be at least 14 days after you receive it — cut to 7 days for N4s served on or after September 21, 2026 (Bill 60). Paying everything you owe before the landlord files at the LTB voids the notice completely. The landlord can file an L1 application the day after the termination date.
- N5 (first notice): you get a 7-day correction window — stop the behaviour, fix or pay for damage, and the notice is void. The termination date must be at least 20 days out.
- N12: at least 60 days' notice ending on the last day of a rental period, plus one month's rent compensation paid before the termination date. See our full guide: what an N12 really means.
- N13: at least 120 days' notice, and you may have a right of first refusal to return after renovations.
- Hearing evidence: if a case goes to the LTB, your evidence generally must be submitted at least 7 days before the hearing (evidence guide).
