Ontario N4 Deadline Calculator
Enter the date the N4 was served. We'll calculate the termination date under the current 14-day RTA rule, and — separately — under the Bill 60 compressed timeline that is pending Cabinet proclamation. Read both and confirm the rule in force on the date of your notice before you act.
Pick the date the N4 was served to see both deadlines.
How the math works
Under the current Ontario Residential Tenancies Act, an N4 for non-payment of rent gives the tenant 14 days to pay what is owed before the landlord can apply for eviction. The 14 days are calendar days, and the clock starts the day after service, not the day of service. If the rent is paid in full by the termination date, the N4 is void.
Bill 60, passed in late 2025, compresses that window for certain monthly tenancies down to 7 days. Schedule 12 of Bill 60 — which contains this change — is not automatically in force on Royal Assent. It requires Cabinet to publish a proclamation date. The change is expected during 2026.
The calculator shows both dates so you can see the worst-case deadline. If you are the tenant: plan for the shorter window. If you are the landlord: do not serve on the shorter timeline until proclamation, or your L1 will be defective for the current 14-day rule.
