My tenant left without providing me with any written notice.

The tenant must provide proper written notice which should be at least 60 days on the N9 form.  However, the landlord must try to minimize his rent losses and try to re-rent the unit as soon as possible when no proper notice is given.  As of September 1, 2021, a landlord can file an application to collect rent arrears and/or compensation that they believe the former tenant owes them with the LTB within one year from the date the tenant moved out of the rental unit. The tenant must have moved out of the rental unit on or after September 1, 2021. If the tenant vacated prior to September 1, 2021 you would have to sue in Small Claims Court. However, in order to file this application with the LTB or a claim in Small Claims Court, the landlord needs to know the tenant’s current residential address.
