N4 Notice — Non-Payment of Rent

One error on your N4 voids the notice — we get it right the first time

An N4 Notice to End a Tenancy for Non-Payment of Rent must state the exact rent owing, the correct termination date, and be served in strict compliance with the Residential Tenancies Act. A single error — wrong amount, wrong date, or improper service — voids the notice entirely and resets your timeline.

If your tenant has stopped paying rent, our Tenant Not Paying Rent guide walks through your options. See How It Works to understand the full Stonegate process.

Stonegate prepares and serves N4 notices for landlords across Ontario every week. We know what adjudicators look for, what voiding mistakes are most common, and how to file the L1 application that follows so nothing delays your hearing date.

How we help Ontario landlords

Non-Payment of Rent Icon

Non-payment of Rent (N4)

Every month you wait is rent you may never recover. We draft, file, and represent you on your N4 application from notice to hearing.

Landlord’s Own Use and Sale Icon

Personal Use (N12)

Bill 97 tightened the rules. One misstep delays your sale or move-in by six months. We prepare the N12 correctly from the start.

Tenant Conduct and Property Damage Icon

Persistent Late Rent (N8)

Chronic late payers get treated as grounds for termination. We take it to hearing and build the pattern-of-conduct record you need.

Cash-for-Keys and Negotiated Move-Outs Icon

Cash-for-Keys

Often the fastest path to vacant possession in Ontario. We draft, negotiate, and document the agreement so it holds.

LTB Hearings and Representation Icon

LTB Hearings

We prepare the file and argue your case at the LTB. You show up — or in many cases, you don’t have to.

Judgment Enforcement Icon

Post-Order Collections

Winning is half the file. After your order issues, we garnish wages, bank accounts, and file L10s to enforce what you’re owed.

Frequently Asked Questions

N4 Non-Payment of Rent Questions

Do you handle N4 notices for landlords across Ontario?

Yes. We file LTB applications for Ontario properties regularly. Toronto cases go through the LTB regional office, and we file there routinely.

What is your fee structure?

We charge flat fees, quoted upfront before you sign. The fee covers the notice, filing, and hearing representation for your matter type.

Do you represent tenants?

No. We are a landlord-only firm. We never represent tenants, which means our advice is never diluted by conflicts of interest.

How long does an N4/L1 matter take in Ontario?

Timelines vary by application type. Non-payment N4/L1 matters tend to move faster than conduct or own-use applications. We’ll give you realistic timelines when we review your file.

Can I book a free consultation?

Yes. We offer a free 20-minute call to review your situation and tell you whether we can help. Use the button below to book.
