Q: How much notice does a tenant now get on an N4 for unpaid rent?

A: The minimum notice period is now seven days.

For an N4 given on or after September 21, 2026, the termination date must be at least seven days after the notice is given. Landlords must also account for the rules governing how the notice is served.

Previously, monthly and yearly tenancies required at least 14 days’ notice. Daily and weekly tenancies already required seven days.

An N4 is a notice, not an eviction order. It does not allow a landlord to change the locks when the notice period ends. The legal process for obtaining and enforcing an eviction order still applies.

A tenant can also void the N4 by paying all outstanding rent, including any additional rent that has become due, before the landlord files the application with the LTB.

Whether you are serving an N4 or responding to one, understanding the deadline and your options matters.

Ontario's rental rules changed on September 21. Do you know what's different?

Several important amendments to Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act came into effect on September 21, 2026, changing rules and procedures that affect both landlords and tenants.

They include changes involving unpaid rent, N4 notices, persistent late payment, N12 notices and compensation, landlord's-own-use evictions, issues tenants can raise at rent-arrears hearings, renovations and the right of first refusal, and more.

That's a lot to digest, particularly when some of the changes involve timelines and requirements that landlords and tenants may have been familiar with for years.

So we're breaking them down.

Over the coming weeks, De Palma & Associates will be sharing our RTA Changes FAQ, answering one question at a time in plain language.

How much notice is required on an N4 now?

What counts as persistent late payment?

When is compensation still required for an N12?

How quickly does a landlord have to move into a unit after a personal-use eviction?

Can tenants still raise maintenance concerns at a rent-arrears hearing?

We'll tackle these questions and more, with practical information for both landlords and tenants about what the new rules actually mean.

The Residential Tenancies Act has changed. Understanding the rules matters.

Canada has one legal ground for divorce: breakdown of the marriage.

A breakdown of the marriage can be established in three ways:

- You and your spouse have lived separate and apart for at least one year.
- Your spouse has committed adultery.
- Your spouse has treated you with physical or mental cruelty that makes continuing to live together intolerable.

Most divorces proceed based on one year of separation because it is generally the simplest route and does not require proving fault.

Thinking about divorce, but unsure where to start?

You may have been separated for years or be just beginning to consider your next steps. Either way, you probably have questions.

What’s the difference between a simple divorce and a joint divorce? Will you have to appear in court? What happens if your spouse ignores the paperwork?

De Palma & Associates Legal Services is launching a Divorce FAQ series to answer common questions about the divorce process in Ontario.

Over the coming weeks, the firm will explain the terminology, address common misconceptions and help you understand what may be involved in legally ending your marriage.

Follow along, one question at a time.

As De Palma & Associates celebrates its 10th anniversary on October 4, we're marking the occasion by giving back to ten organizations that have made a difference to our team, our families and our communities. For our anniversary itself, there really could only be one.

The Wasaga Beach Ministerial Food Bank forever hold a very special place in the heart of De Palma & Associates because it was the very first charity our firm ever supported.

Back in 2016, during our first year in business, we held our first charitable initiative, purchasing food to donate to the Food Bank in support of people in our local community. Ten years later, our firm has grown, our team has grown, and our ability to give back has grown with it. But we haven't forgotten where that part of our story began. The Wasaga Beach Food Bank is entirely volunteer-run and relies on donations from the community to provide food and support to local residents in need. So it feels especially fitting that on our 10th anniversary, we return to where our tradition of giving started.

De Palma & Associates is proud to once again support the Wasaga Beach Food Bank and the community that has supported our firm for the past decade.

If you'd like to celebrate with us by supporting the Food Bank, donations can be made here:

As De Palma & Associates approaches its 10th anniversary on October 4, the firm is celebrating by giving back to ten organizations that have made a difference to our team, our families and our communities.

Today, we're supporting The Kidney Foundation of Canada La Fondation canadienne du rein, a cause that holds a very special place in Nicole's heart.

Nicole recently experienced the loss of a loved one to kidney failure. That loss has made the work of the Kidney Foundation particularly meaningful to her and her family.

The Kidney Foundation supports people affected by kidney disease while funding research into prevention, better treatments and ultimately a cure. It also provides education and support and works to advance kidney health and organ donation across Canada.

As we mark ten years of De Palma & Associates, we're honoured to include a cause that remembers someone important to one of our own while helping support other people living with kidney disease and the families who walk alongside them.

If you'd like to join us in supporting The Kidney Foundation of Canada, you can make a donation directly here:

As De Palma & Associates approaches its 10th anniversary on October 4, the firm is celebrating by giving back to ten organizations that have made a difference to our team, our families and our communities.

Today, we're supporting Prostate Cancer Foundation Canada, a cause that is especially meaningful to our Senior Paralegal, Nicole.

Someone very close to Nicole is currently battling prostate cancer. For Nicole, and for so many families across Canada, this is much more than a diagnosis. It is something that touches the lives of the people fighting the disease and everyone who loves and supports them.

Prostate Cancer Foundation Canada provides support and resources to patients and their loved ones across the country while also supporting education, awareness and prostate cancer research. Prostate Cancer Foundation Canada

As part of our 10th anniversary celebration, De Palma & Associates is proud to make a donation to Prostate Cancer Foundation Canada. We hope our contribution helps support those facing prostate cancer today while contributing to the research that can make a difference for those diagnosed in the future.

Most of all, this donation is our way of honouring a fight that is very personal to one of our own.

As De Palma & Associates approaches its 10th anniversary on October 4, the firm is celebrating by giving back to ten organizations that have made a difference to our team, our families and our communities.

Today, we're supporting Easter Seals Ontario a charity that has become important to the entire De Palma & Associates team.

Our relationship with Easter Seals began through our involvement with BNI. What started as an introduction to the organization quickly became something much more meaningful, and Easter Seals is now a cause the firm is proud to support regularly.

Easter Seals Ontario helps children, youth and young adults with physical disabilities through programs and services including financial assistance for mobility and accessibility equipment, fully accessible camps and other supports that help promote greater independence.

We're especially proud to support the work Easter Seals does right here in Simcoe County, helping children and families in the communities we call home.

As part of our 10th anniversary celebration, De Palma & Associates is proud to once again support Easter Seals Ontario and the incredible kids and families they serve.
