Version. 31/01/2007
(day/month/year)
A tenant must give the landlord this notice as follows:
. I will move out of the rental unit on or before this date.
If the tenancy is a daily or weekly tenancy
, the tenant must give the landlord at least 28 days
notice. Also, the termination date must be the last day of the rental period.
1.
For all other types of tenancies
, such as monthly, the tenant must give the landlord at least 60
days notice. Also, the termination date must be the last day of the rental period or the last day of the
fixed term tenancy.
Note:
A special rule permits less than 60 days notice in two cases: notice for the end of February
can be given no later than January 1st, and notice for the end of March can be given no later than
February 1st.
If the tenant is giving this notice because the landlord has refused to allow the tenant to
assign the rental unit, the tenant must give the landlord at least 28 days notice for daily or weekly
tenancies; for all other types of tenancies the tenant must give at least 30 days notice. The
termination date does not have to be at the end of a rental period.
If the tenant is giving this notice because the landlord has given the tenant a notice of
termination
for landlord's or purchaser's own use, conversion, demolition, repairs or renovations and
the tenant wishes to leave earlier than the date in the landlord's notice, the tenant must give the
landlord at least 10 calendar days written notice to terminate any type of tenancy. The termination
date does not have to be at the end of a rental period.
If the tenant is in a care home
, the tenant may terminate the tenancy at any time by giving the
landlord at least 30 days notice. The termination date does not have to be at the end of a rental
period.
Where a tenant of a care home gives a 30-day notice of termination to a landlord, the tenant may
also give the landlord a 10-day notice to stop providing care services and meals. Where a tenant
gives the 10-day notice, the tenant is not required to pay for the care services and meals after the
end of the 10-day period.
Where a tenant in a care home dies, the estate is not obligated to pay for care services and meals
that would otherwise have been provided under the tenancy agreement, more than 10 days after the
death of the tenant. However, if the tenant dies and there are no other tenants in that tenant's rental
unit, the estate would still be responsible for the rent for 30 days after the tenant's death.
