How much notice do I give to move out in Ontario?

Generally 60 days for a monthly tenancy, with the termination date falling on the last day of a rental period. Weekly tenancies require 28 days. You should use the official LTB Form N9.

Does this letter replace Form N9?

No. The official notice is Form N9 from the Landlord and Tenant Board. This letter is a plain-language companion for your records and to communicate clearly with your landlord.

Can I end a fixed-term lease early with this?

No. A fixed-term lease generally can't be ended early just by giving notice. You'd need to assign or sublet, or agree with your landlord to end early (Form N11).

Notice to End Your Tenancy Letter Generator

Moving out of an Ontario rental means giving proper written notice — generally 60 days, ending on the last day of a rental period. This generates a clear notice letter for your records.

For a month-to-month or expiring fixed-term tenancy, you should also submit the official LTB Form N9 (Tenant's Notice to End the Tenancy). This letter accompanies or restates that notice — it does not replace the official form.
