Enter the day you give the notice.
Section 59 of the Residential Tenancies Act, as amended in 2025, sets the termination date at no earlier than the 7th day after the notice is given. The Board’s N4 instructions say not to count the day you give it, and to add five days if you mail it or one business day if you send it by courier; their example: given by hand on March 3, the termination date can be March 10, or March 15 if mailed. Weekends are skipped for courier delivery; statutory holidays are not, so check one that falls in the window. An L1 can be filed from the day after the termination date (section 74).
