N7 (serious safety problems or wilful damage)

The fastest conduct notice — 10 days, not voidable, for safety or deliberate damage.

General information, not legal advice. Ontario rules and timelines change — always confirm the current forms and requirements with the Landlord and Tenant Board or a licensed paralegal before acting.

When to use it

An N7 covers the most serious conduct: seriously impairing someone's safety, wilful (deliberate) damage, or — where the landlord lives in the same small building — substantial interference with the landlord. It gives 10 days' notice and is not voidable.

N5 or N7?

Negligent damage and ordinary interference belong on an N5 (voidable the first time). Deliberate damage and safety-impairing conduct support the N7. See the full N7 guide.
