What do I do with the completed form?
Formally serve the landlord with the original of this Form C.
You may do this in several ways:
1 Hand the form in person to the landlord or an agent of the landlord, the property manager, or the
superintendent. You can also have someone else do this for you.
Date served is the same date.
2 Leave a copy in the landlord’s mailbox or mail slot at an address listed in the lease for the
landlord, property manager, or superintendent.
Date served is the same date.
3 Send it by pre-paid registered mail, express post, or courier service to an address
• stated in the lease
• where the landlord carries on business as a landlord
• where the rent is payable
Date served is the 3
rd
day after the date mailed. Keep a copy of the receipt showing proof the
notice was prepaid, properly addressed, and sent.
4 Send it electronically, but only if the landlord has provided an electronic address in the lease
to receive documents. The electronic copy must be substantially the same as the original and
capable of being retained by the landlord so they can use it for later reference.
Date served depends on the time and the day sent as follows:
• If sent before 4:00 pm on any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, it is deemed to
have been served on the day sent.
• If sent after 4:00 pm on any day, it is deemed to have been served on the next day that is not
a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday.
• If sent on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, it is deemed to have been served on the next day
that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday.
Keep a copy of this form for your records.
