✅ Approved Methods of Service & Termination Timing
The method you use to serve the N4 Notice determines when the Landlord and Tenant Board
considers the notice received.
As per the official LTB rules shown in Table 1, the N4 requires
at least 14 days after the day the notice is deemed received,
except for regular mail which requires a 5-day mailing buffer.
| Service Method | Effective Delivery Date (LTB Rules) | Total Days to Count for Termination |
|---|---|---|
| In person to the tenant | The day you hand the documents to the party | 14 days |
| Handed to another adult in the unit | Same day (treated same as in-person) | 14 days |
| Placed in mailbox or mail slot | The day you leave the documents in the mailbox or where mail is ordinarily delivered | 14 days |
| Slid under the door | Same rule as mailbox — considered received the day you leave it | 14 days |
| Courier | The first day after the documents were sent (or next non-holiday business day) |
14 days |
| Regular mail | 5 days after mailing (LTB rule) | 19 days total |
| Email (with written consent in lease) | The day you send the email | 14 days |
| Tribunals Ontario Portal (with written consent) | The day you upload the documents | 14 days |
⚠️ Not Valid Methods of Service
- Taping the notice to the door
- Leaving it with a neighbour
- Posting it in the building
- Sending via text message, voicemail, or phone call
📌 Example (December 2025)
If you email the N4 on December 6, 2025,
the termination date must be December 20, 2025.
