3. Choose a termination date

Your notice must say the date that you will end your tenancy and move out by. This is called the termination date.

If you are a care home tenant, your termination date can be any day you choose. But it must be at least 30 days after the day you will give your landlord the notice.

NOTE: The law says you must send the notice 5 days earlier if you mail it.

Decide if you want to end care services and meals early

You can cancel your care services and meals early by giving at least 10 days' notice to your landlord. After the 10-day period ends, you can stop paying for those meals and services. You won't get those services for the rest of your tenancy.

You can cancel your services and meals on the same notice you use to end your tenancy. If you are using the Landlord and Tenant Board's Form N9, you can write in the blank space on page 3. You can write: “I am giving notice to end my care services and meals. The last day I will use these services is [day, month, year].” Make sure to include your initials or signature below what you write, so they know who added this information.
