A tenant in a periodic (for example month-to-month) tenancy must give at least one full rental payment period's notice. Notice is given on or before the last day of a rental period, to move out on the last day of the following period. Example: rent due on the 1st, notice on or before March 31 to move out April 30; rent due on the 15th, notice on or before March 14 to move out April 14.
Act, s. 87 (2) and (5) (checked 2026-10-26): notice on or before the last day of a rental payment period, effective not earlier than the last day of the following period. The day the notice is given is not counted (Branch policy page). Under s. 84 (2) and (3) a tenant's notice may be oral or in writing, must identify the unit and give the date the tenancy ends, and must be signed if it is written; a landlord can ask a tenant who gave oral notice to sign a written one, and if the tenant does not sign, the notice is void. Giving it in writing and keeping proof is the safer choice. A notice sent by mail counts as given on the 5th day after mailing (s. 184).
A tenant in a fixed-term tenancy is responsible for the rent until the end of the term, with exceptions (see the list on the Branch's fact sheet).
- Assignment of the tenancy: written permission from the landlord, no notice needed
- The landlord unreasonably refuses consent to assign or sublet: one full rental period (Act, s. 90)
- Accepted into a personal care home: one full rental period
- No longer able to live independently or the unit became inaccessible because of health (doctor's certificate): one full rental period
- A rehabilitation scheme or an application for a rent increase above the guideline: two full rental periods
- Canadian Forces posting at least 50 km away: one or three full rental periods
- Household, domestic or sexual violence or stalking that puts the tenant's or a dependent child's safety at risk (certificate from a designated authority appointed by the minister): one full rental period (Act, ss. 92.3 and 92.4)
- A health condition that reduces income (doctor's certificate): one full rental period
- The landlord withdraws a service: no set notice, the tenant asks the Branch to decide
- A tenant dies: the estate can give one full rental period (or, if one of several tenants dies and the others cannot afford the rent, one period)
- The landlord breaches the Act or the agreement and does not fix it after a written demand: one full rental period; five days if there is a risk to health or safety, with no written demand needed; immediately if the unit is uninhabitable (Act, s. 89)

Frequently asked questions
How much notice does a tenant have to give in Ontario?
A tenant who pays rent monthly must give at least 60 days' written notice (Form N9), and the move-out date must be the end of a monthly rental period. A tenant with a lease must give at least 60 days' notice, with a termination date no earlier than the last day of the lease.
How much notice does a tenant have to give in Manitoba?
At least one full rental payment period, in a periodic tenancy such as month-to-month. Give notice on or before the last day of a rental period to move out on the last day of the following period. For example, with rent due on the 1st, notice on or before March 31 means moving out April 30.
What if I want to move out earlier?
A landlord and tenant can agree to end a tenancy early, and no notice is needed if they agree (a written agreement is best). Otherwise the notice rules apply. In Manitoba a tenant can give shorter notice in some cases, for example five days if health or safety is at risk.
Can a tenant with a lease end it early?
In Ontario, a lease for a fixed term generally ends on its last day, and the notice must allow for that. In Manitoba, a fixed-term tenant is responsible for the rent until the end of the term, with exceptions such as a move into a personal care home or leaving a violent situation (see the list above).
Does the day I give notice count?
In Manitoba, the day the notice is given is not counted. In Ontario we have not confirmed exactly how the days are counted, so give notice a little early and ask the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Does this cover a landlord ending the tenancy?
No. Notices from a landlord (for example for unpaid rent or for the landlord's own use) depend on the reason and on the forms used, so this tool does not cover them. Ask the Landlord and Tenant Board or the Residential Tenancies Branch. For a rent increase notice, use the rent increase calculators.
