Notice math under the Residential Tenancies Act is unforgiving: at least 60 days, counted precisely, ending on exactly the right day. One day off and the notice has no legal effect. These free calculators do the counting for tenants ending a tenancy with a Form N9 and for owners taking a unit back for their own use with a Form N12.
In Ontario, most tenants owe 60 days of written notice on Form N9, and the move-out date has to be the last day of a rental period. This tool does the counting for you, in either direction. For the full rules, including how to leave a fixed-term lease early, read our guide to giving notice in Ontario.

N12 termination dates: taking a unit back for your own use
A valid Form N12 needs at least 60 days of notice and a termination date on the last day of a rental period, or the last day of the fixed term if there is one. Both conditions. This tool runs the math in either direction. For who qualifies, the compensation rule, and the bad-faith risks, read our guide to own-use evictions in Ontario.
Your result
Pick a direction: find the earliest valid termination date from the day you plan to serve, or start from the termination date you want and get your serve-by deadline.
Assumes rent is due on the 1st, so rental periods end on the last day of the month. Reflects section 48 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 and LTB service rules. An N12 also requires one month's rent in compensation paid by the termination date, a sworn affidavit filed with your L2, and a genuine intention to occupy for at least one year. General information, not legal advice. Weighing an N12 against keeping the unit tenanted? A free rental evaluation gives you the numbers.
