Unpaid rent · N4 / L1 · Late rent N8
When rent stops, every week counts. We serve the right notice quickly, file with the Board and represent you at the hearing, so you can recover what you’re owed or get your unit back.
When this applies
A missed month, or a partial payment that leaves a balance owing.
Promises to pay don’t protect your position. A properly served notice does.
Rent paid more than 7 days late at least 3 times in 6 months may support an N8.
Your application can ask for the rent owed, and to end the tenancy if it isn’t paid.
What changed in 2026
Updated for the Residential Tenancies Act changes in force September 21, 2026.
Where landlords get caught
A notice the Board won’t accept means serving it again, and losing another month of rent while you wait.
How we handle it
We check your lease, rent records and dates, then prepare and serve the N4 correctly.
If the arrears aren’t paid by the termination date, we file with the Landlord and Tenant Board right away.
We prepare your evidence and ask the Board for the rent owed and, if needed, an eviction order.
What to have ready
If something is missing, we’ll tell you what we need.
Questions
Usually, yes. If the tenant clears all the arrears before the date on the N4, the notice no longer counts. Later on, the tenant can often still save the tenancy by paying everything the Board says is owed, including your filing fee.
The notice period is now 7 days, but hearing wait times at the Board vary. We file as soon as you’re eligible, so you’re in line early.
No. Only the Sheriff (Court Enforcement Office) can carry out an eviction order. Taking matters into your own hands can lead to serious fines.
Yes. We handle everything remotely and keep you updated by email at every step.
