N8 — Persistent Late Payment & End of Term
About This Service
A tenant who always pays, but always pays late, cannot be removed with an N4 — the moment they pay, the N4 is void. The N8 Notice to End your Tenancy at the End of the Term is built for exactly this: persistent late payment, among other end-of-term grounds. It requires 60 days' notice timed to the end of the term or rental period, and it succeeds or fails on the payment history you can prove. A clean ledger showing the pattern — month after month of late payment — is the whole case. Carli reconstructs the payment record, drafts the N8 with dates that actually comply, and presents the pattern at the hearing so the Board sees persistence, not a one-off.

Why Landlords Use a Paralegal
The Residential Tenancies Act is unforgiving of paperwork errors. A notice with the wrong termination date, an arrears figure a few dollars off, or an application that doesn't match its notice gets dismissed at the hearing — after months in the LTB's queue — and the clock starts over. Tenants have free Tenant Duty Counsel available at every hearing; landlords who represent themselves are often the least protected person in the room.
Paralegals regulated by the Law Society of Ontario are fully authorized to represent landlords before the Landlord and Tenant Board. LTB hearings are held by video in Zoom hearing rooms, so Carli represents landlords across Ontario from her Burlington practice — professional advocacy at a fraction of the cost of a lawyer.
