What happens if the tenant gave notice but does not move and does not pay rent?

If the tenant has given a written notice to vacate and does not move out according to their notice, you will have to file an application with the Landlord and Tenant Board to get an eviction order based on the notice they gave you. This process can take a few weeks before you recover possession of the rental unit. It is possible that they can stay there without paying rent until you obtain the order to evict. To apply to the Board based on the notice given by the tenant you will need a Form L3 and a Declaration form. You can also file the L9 application to collect the unpaid rent.  These forms can be obtained from the Board’s website at https://tribunalsontario.ca/ltb/forms/
