Tenant's Notice to End the Tenancy
N9: a tenant's notice to end the tenancy
When a tenant tells you they're moving out, a phone call or text isn't enough if they change their mind. The Board's N9 puts their notice in writing with a valid date. We have it prepared for your tenant to review and sign.

From you
What the paralegal needs
- The rental's address and unit
- The tenants' names
- The date the tenant wants to leave
The tenant's choice
The N9 is the tenant's notice. A landlord can't require one as a condition of renting the unit, and a notice signed that way is void. Preparing it simply makes sure the notice your tenant chose to give is on the Board's form, with a date that works.
