Fill in Your Details
Your Email
This letter serves as formal notice that your rent payment is now overdue.
Amount Owing: $[Amount] Original Due Date: [Due Date] Property Address: [Property Address]
Under the Residential Tenancies Act, landlords have the right to serve a Notice to End Tenancy (Form N4) when rent is unpaid. I am providing you with this opportunity to bring your account current before taking formal action.
Please arrange to pay the full amount of $[Amount] by [Deadline Date].
If payment is not received by this date, I may proceed with serving an N4 Notice, which begins the formal eviction process.
If you are experiencing financial difficulties, I encourage you to contact me immediately to discuss possible arrangements.
You can reach me at [Your Contact].
Regards, [Your Name]
When to Use This Email
✅ Good for:
- Rent is 1-2 weeks late
- Tenant hasn’t responded to friendly reminders
- Final warning before formal notice
- Creating a paper trail
❌ Not for:
- First late payment (use Rent Reminder first)
- Rent only 1-2 days late
- Tenant already served N4
Next Steps If No Payment
- Serve N4 Notice — After deadline passes without payment
- Wait 14 days — Tenant has this time to pay and void the notice
- File L1 Application — If notice period expires without payment
- Attend LTB hearing — Present your case to the adjudicator
