📅 RENT DUE
Rent must be paid in full by the due date.
⚠️ RENT STILL UNPAID?
After the due date, the landlord may serve a 10 Day Notice to End Tenancy for Unpaid Rent (RTB-30).
⏳ 5 DAYS TO ACT
After receiving the notice, the tenant has 5 days to:
✓ Pay the overdue rent — cancelling the notice
OR
✓ Apply to the RTB to dispute the notice
❌ NO PAYMENT OR DISPUTE?
The tenant is considered to have accepted the end of the tenancy and must vacate by the effective date of the notice.
📑 WHAT’S NEXT?
The landlord may proceed through the RTB process to seek an Order of Possession and payment of unpaid rent.
💡 IMPORTANT: How the notice is served can affect when it is considered received and when the deadlines begin.
