The LTB revises its forms when the rules change, and an outdated form can get a notice or application thrown out. Every link on this page goes to the LTB's official forms page, which always carries the current version. We don't host or alter the forms.

The right form is the easy part. What the LTB looks at is the record behind it: the lease, every rent payment, each notice and when it was served. Keeping all of it in one place is what Habyn's lease management and rent tracking are built for, and the rent receipt generator is free.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I get the official LTB forms?
From the Landlord and Tenant Board's forms page on the Tribunals Ontario website, where every form is free. Many applications can also be filed online through the Tribunals Ontario Portal. Every form on this page links to that official source.
Why do you link to the LTB forms page instead of the PDF?
The Board revises its forms when the rules change, and the file behind an old link can be out of date. Using an outdated version is a common reason a notice or application is delayed or dismissed. The official forms page always carries the current version.
What do the N, L, T and A letters mean?
N forms are notices, usually served by a landlord on a tenant (the N9 and N15 are tenant notices). L forms are landlord applications to the Board, T forms are tenant applications, and A forms are applications either side can file.
Is an N notice an eviction?
No. A notice is a first step. If the tenant does not leave or fix the issue, the landlord has to apply to the Board, and only a Board order enforced by the Court Enforcement Office (the Sheriff) can remove a tenant.
Which form does a tenant use to move out?
The N9, the tenant's notice to end the tenancy. If the landlord and tenant agree on an end date, they can both sign an N11 instead.
How do you keep this list up to date?
We check the list against the Landlord and Tenant Board's official forms page every day. If a form is renamed, moved, retired or added, we are alerted and update this page. The date at the top shows when the list was last verified.
