10-Day Notice to End your Tenancy for Causing Serious Problems in the Rental Unit or Residential Complex
N7 notice for wilful damage, serious damage or safety
The N7 is the 10-day notice for the most serious problems: wilful damage, damage from using the unit in a way that isn't residential, seriously impaired safety, and substantial interference in a building of three units or fewer where you live.

When an N7 fits
The Board's brochure says the landlord must prove damage was wilful, or the application is dismissed, and suggests an N5 when that's uncertain. For impaired safety, the brochure notes the notice can be based on a tenant's pet. The small-building ground applies only where you live in the same building, with three residential units or fewer.

About the N7
All questionsCan a tenant fix the problem to cancel an N7?
No. The N7 can't be voided; the tenant disputes it at the hearing.
