An N7 is the fastest landlord notice: 10 days, not voidable. It's for the most serious situations — a tenant or guest seriously impairing someone's safety, wilfully damaging the unit, or (where you share the building) seriously interfering with your reasonable enjoyment.

When it applies
The tenant or a guest has done something that seriously impairs, or has seriously impaired, the safety of another person — and it happened in the unit or complex.
Deliberate (not just negligent) damage to the rental unit or residential complex. Negligent damage belongs on an N5 instead.
Where you live in the same building (3 or fewer residential units), substantial interference with your reasonable enjoyment or another lawful right.
Safety cases move fast — record what happened immediately: photos, videos, police/fire reports, witness statements, dates and times.
10 days' notice. It is not voidable — the tenant cannot cancel it by repairing the damage or stopping the behaviour.
You can file the L2 with the LTB right away; you don't have to wait for the termination date to pass.
The Board treats the N7 as the most serious conduct notice — the evidence has to match. Be specific about who was endangered and how.

LandlordEzy automatically generates the N4 (non-payment) and N1 (rent increase). The N7 is served less often and is more fact-specific, so we give you the form, the guidance and the case law instead.
10 days, and the termination date does not need to fall on the last day of a rental period. It's the shortest landlord notice for tenant conduct.
No. The N7 is not voidable. If the conduct is less serious — negligent damage, noise, ordinary interference — the correct notice is usually the N5, which is voidable the first time.
Wilful (deliberate) damage supports an N7. Negligent or careless damage belongs on an N5. If in doubt, many landlords serve both notices for the same conduct and let the stronger one carry the case.
Conduct that genuinely endangers someone — violence or credible threats, fires caused recklessly, disabling smoke alarms, aggressive dogs, tampering with wiring or gas. It must have occurred in the rental unit or residential complex.
The automated generators are for the N4 and N1. For the N7 you can download the official form here, ask Ask Ezy about the process, and search real LTB orders for similar safety and damage cases.
General information for Ontario, not legal advice. Notice periods, compensation and the rules around the N7 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.
