Application to End a Tenancy and Evict a Tenant: Tenant Gave Notice or Agreed to End the Tenancy
L3 application: the tenant gave notice or agreed to leave
When a tenant has given notice or agreed in writing to leave, the L3 asks the Board to end the tenancy on that date. You don't have to wait for the date to file, and doing it early can save weeks if they don't move.

About the L3
