Read the guideOntario's Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) publishes every notice, application and procedural form used in a residential tenancy dispute under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (RTA). Each form listed below has its own page explaining what it does, the deadlines, how to fill it out and the mistakes that get it refused or dismissed. This introduction explains how the forms fit together so you can find the right one.
At a glance

The form families
N notices are given by one party to the other. Rent increase notices are the N1, N2 (units exempt from the rent increase rules), N3 (care homes) and the N10 agreement to increase above the guideline. Notices to end a tenancy include the N4 for unpaid rent, N5 for interference, damage or overcrowding, N8 for persistent late payment and other end-of-term grounds, N12 for landlord's or purchaser's own use and N13 for demolition, repairs or conversion. The N11 is an agreement to end the tenancy and the N9 is the tenant's own notice. Under s. 43 of the RTA, a notice of termination must be on the approved form, identify the unit, state the termination date and be signed.
L applications ask the LTB for an order: eviction, rent, other money, or an above-guideline increase. The L1 (non-payment of rent) and L2 (most other eviction grounds, or money from a tenant still in the unit) are the most common. The L3 and L4 can be decided without a hearing, the L9 and L10 collect money without ending a tenancy, and the L5 seeks a rent increase above the guideline.
T applications are tenant applications, such as the T2 (tenant rights), T6 (maintenance) and T5 (notice given in bad faith). Landlords need to know them as respondents.
A applications, the A1 (whether the RTA applies), A2 (sublet or assignment) and A4 (varying a rent reduction), can be filed by either side.
Procedural forms keep a case moving: the Certificate of Service, the L1/L9 Information Update, the Payment Agreement, requests to reschedule, extend or shorten time, amend or review an order, and motions such as the S3.
Notice first, then application
For most eviction grounds the order is fixed: serve the N notice, let the notice period (and any remedy period) run, then file the matching L application. Under s. 69 of the RTA, an eviction application must be based on a notice of termination and, except for non-payment of rent, filed within 30 days after the notice's termination date. Rule 6 of the LTB Rules of Procedure lists timing errors that get an application refused, such as filing an L1 on or before the N4 termination date. The L3, L4, L9 and L10 do not start with a landlord's notice of termination.
How to pick the right form
- Start from the order you want: possession, rent, other money, a rent increase, or a ruling on the Act.
- Find the legal ground and the notice that matches it; each form page names its RTA section.
- Check the deadlines before serving anything. The LTB cannot extend or shorten notice periods (O. Reg. 516/06, s. 56).
- Read the official instructions; LTB staff check filings against them.
Navigate Tribunals Ontario also suggests a form based on your answers.
Filing and old versions
The L1, L2, L3, L4, L9 and L10 are filed on the Tribunals Ontario Portal at a lower fee; most other applications go by email, mail, courier or ServiceOntario (see LTB filing fees). Download PDFs and complete them in Adobe Reader, not in your browser.
On September 21, 2026 the LTB replaced the N5, N6, N8, N12, N13, L1, L2, L9, L10 and T5 to reflect Bill 60 and Bill 97, and released a new N4 (7-day notice period) and a new "Issues a Tenant Intends to Raise at a Rent Arrears Hearing" form. Tribunals Ontario states that previous versions of the replaced forms will no longer be accepted as of November 30, 2026. The N4 and the Issues form are not named in that sentence, so whether the cut-off applies to them is unconfirmed. Always download a fresh copy rather than reusing a saved file.
Frequently asked questions
Do I file my N4 or N12 with the LTB?
No. The notice is served on the tenant. It reaches the LTB only with your application and Certificate of Service.
Can I use a form I downloaded last year?
Not for the forms named in the September 21, 2026 update (N5, N6, N8, N12, N13, L1, L2, L9, L10 and T5): previous versions are not accepted as of November 30, 2026. For every other form, including the new N4, download the current version anyway.
What is the difference between an L1 and an L9?
An L1 ends the tenancy and collects rent, based on an N4. An L9 only collects rent from a tenant still in the unit.
