An N11 is not a notice — it's a signed agreement between landlord and tenant to end the tenancy on a date you both choose. No minimum notice period, no LTB grounds needed — but it only works if it's genuinely voluntary.

When it applies
You and the tenant want the tenancy to end on a specific date — any date works, mid-month included, with no minimum notice.
The N11 is the proper paper behind a "cash-for-keys" deal: the incentive goes in a side agreement, the end date goes on the N11.
An N11 signed as a condition of getting the lease is void (limited student-residence exceptions). Pressuring a tenant to sign can void it too.
Pick the end date together. If money or move-out conditions are part of the deal, put them in writing alongside the N11.
Both landlord and tenant sign. Each side keeps a copy — LandlordEzy's document storage is a good home for it.
Book the move-out inspection, apply the last month's rent to the final period, and settle keys and utilities for the agreed date.
Apply to the LTB on Form L3 within 30 days of the agreed termination date — no further notice is required.

LandlordEzy automatically generates the N4 (non-payment) and N1 (rent increase). The N11 is served less often and is more fact-specific, so we give you the form, the guidance and the case law instead.
The N9 is the tenant's one-way notice (60 days, period-end dates). The N11 is a two-way agreement — any date both sides accept, no minimum notice, signed by both.
No. An N11 signed at the start of the tenancy as a condition of renting is void, with narrow exceptions for certain student residences. It has to be a genuine, later agreement.
Yes — offering a tenant compensation to agree to end the tenancy is lawful and common. Do it properly: a signed N11 for the end date plus a short written agreement covering the payment and conditions.
A signed N11 is binding. If the tenant doesn't move out on the agreed date, you can apply to the LTB on Form L3 within 30 days of that date for an eviction order — no notice needed.
Download the official form here, store the signed copy on the tenancy, run the move-out inspection with photos, and list the vacancy free on EzyRent when the date is set.
General information for Ontario, not legal advice. Notice periods, compensation and the rules around the N11 change and are fact-specific — confirm the current requirements with the LTB or a licensed Ontario paralegal before serving a notice.
From rent collection and the N4, to rent increases with the N1, to screening and records — LandlordEzy is the platform Ontario landlords use to do it themselves.
