What Is an N5 Notice in Ontario?

Home / FAQs / What Is an N5 Notice in Ontario?

An N5 is a Notice to End a Tenancy for Interfering with Others, Damage, or Overcrowding. A landlord can serve an N5 if a tenant has wilfully damaged the property, disturbed other tenants or the landlord, overcrowded the unit, or allowed others to do these things. If it is the first N5, the tenant has 7 days to stop the behaviour or fix the damage  if they do, the notice becomes void. If it is a second N5 within 6 months, the landlord can go directly to the LTB. If you have received an N5, contact an Eviction Paralegal right away to understand your options and respond before the deadline.
