Form N11 in Ontario: Agreement to End the Tenancy
Form N11 is the Landlord and Tenant Board form a landlord and tenant sign when they agree to end a tenancy on a date they choose together. This guide covers what the agreement does, why it can't be a condition of renting, and what you can do if the tenant doesn't move out.
Notice of termination needed
None
A notice of termination need not be given if a landlord and a tenant have agreed to terminate a tenancy (Residential Tenancies Act, s. 37(3)).
What an N11 is
An N11 records an agreement: the landlord and the tenant agree that the tenancy ends on a set date, the termination date. No notice of termination is needed when you and the tenant agree to end the tenancy; you agree on the date together.
The form names all the tenants and is signed by the tenant and the landlord.
It can't be a condition of renting
An agreement to end a tenancy is void if it is entered into at the time the tenancy agreement is entered into, or as a condition of entering into it (Residential Tenancies Act, s. 37(5)). The form says a landlord cannot require the tenant to sign an N11 as a condition of agreeing to rent a unit. There are two exceptions: certain post-secondary student housing and certain care homes.
If the tenant doesn't move out
After the landlord and tenant sign the agreement, the landlord can apply to the LTB for an eviction order (Form L3). The earliest eviction date the Board can include in its order is the termination date in the agreement. You must apply no later than 30 days after that termination date (Residential Tenancies Act, s. 77(3)).
Keep a copy
Both the landlord and the tenant should keep a copy of the agreement.
How Automanagement helps
On an Ontario residential lease, Automanagement prepares an N11 worksheet with the tenant's and landlord's names, the unit and the dates, and shows the earliest eviction date and the last day to apply to the LTB. It flags an agreement dated on or before the start of the lease, and links to the official N11, which you and the tenant sign. The worksheet isn't the form.

Frequently asked questions
Does an N11 need 60 days' notice?
No notice of termination is needed when a landlord and a tenant have agreed to end the tenancy (Residential Tenancies Act, s. 37(3)). You and the tenant agree on the date.
Can I have a new tenant sign an N11 with the lease?
No. An agreement to end the tenancy made at the time the tenancy agreement is entered into, or as a condition of entering into it, is void, except in certain student housing and care homes.
Who signs the N11?
The tenant and the landlord. The form names all the tenants.
What if the tenant doesn't leave after signing an N11?
You can apply to the LTB with Form L3. The earliest eviction date in the order is the agreed termination date, and you must apply no later than 30 days after it.
