🏠 ONTARIO LANDLORD–TENANT RULES HAVE CHANGED — ARE YOU UP TO DATE?
As of September 21, 2026, important changes to Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act are now in effect.
If you are a landlord, tenant, real-estate investor, or buying/selling a tenanted property in the GTA, these changes could affect your decisions, timelines and responsibilities.
🔹 N4 notices: The minimum notice period for non-payment of rent has changed to 7 days for applicable tenancies.
🔹 Persistent late payments: New rules clarify when repeated late rent payments may be considered persistent.
🔹 N12 notices: New options and requirements apply to certain landlord-own-use situations.
🔹 Renovictions: Tenants have clearer rights regarding returning to a unit after qualifying renovations.
🔹 Tenanted property transactions: Buyers and sellers need to pay closer attention to tenancy documentation and vacant-possession plans.
📖 I broke down the major changes in plain English — including what landlords, tenants, buyers and sellers should know.
