Ontario legal & the LTB

N8 (persistently late rent)Ontario legal

For a tenant who keeps paying late, even if they're currently caught up.

General information, not legal advice. This guide explains how Ontario residential-tenancy law generally works. It is not legal advice and may not fit your exact situation — the rules and timelines change. For a binding answer, confirm on the LTB website or talk to our licensed paralegals.

When to use it

An N8 is used when a tenant has persistently paid rent late. Keep a clear record of the late dates (your LandlordEzy rent ledger is ideal evidence). The notice ends the tenancy at the end of the term/period; the LTB decides whether the pattern justifies it.

Want this handled for you?

OLH Property Management’s licensed paralegals and Realtors® can manage the whole tenancy — notices, LTB filings, screening and rent collection. Or run it yourself with LandlordEzy, which includes an LTB order database and AI tools.
