The N11: a mutual agreement to end the tenancy
This page is the free guide. No sign-in. Read on.
The N11's full title is "Agreement to End the Tenancy." Unlike an N-series notice one side serves on the other, the N11 only works if both the landlord and the tenant agree, in writing, on a date.

What the N11 is
Open this section ↓The form's own text is the clearest description: "The landlord and the tenant agree that the tenancy will end on" a date entered on the form. Both sides sign it. It is an agreement, not a notice, so there is no side that can impose it on the other.

It cannot be a condition of renting
Open this section ↓The form addresses a specific misuse directly: a landlord cannot require a tenant to "sign an N11 Agreement to End the Tenancy as a condition of agreeing to rent a unit." If that happened at signing, the form states the tenant does not have to move out because of it.

Notice period: none is set

There is a free date field on the form and no minimum-notice wording anywhere on it, so how much lead time is reasonable is left entirely to what the landlord and tenant agree between them.

Common mistakes
Requiring an N11 to be signed as a condition of renting the unit in the first place: prohibited on the form itselfOpen this section ↓- ✗Requiring an N11 to be signed as a condition of renting the unit in the first place: prohibited on the form itself
- ✗Treating a signed N11 as final if it was actually required at move-in: the tenant does not have to move out because of it
- ✗Assuming an N11 works like a notice a landlord can serve unilaterally: it only takes effect if both sides sign

Common Questions
Open this section ↓↑ Close this sectionWhat is an N11 form?
The N11 is Ontario’s "Agreement to End the Tenancy." It is a mutual agreement, not a one-sided notice: the form’s own text reads, "The landlord and the tenant agree that the tenancy will end on" a specific date, and both sides sign it.
Can a landlord make signing an N11 a condition of renting?
No. The form prohibits requiring a tenant to sign an N11 Agreement to End the Tenancy as a condition of agreeing to rent a unit in the first place, and it states that a tenant does not have to move out if signing one was required at signing.
How much notice does an N11 require?
The form sets no minimum notice period; the parties pick the date between them, and it is entered directly on the form.
What if a tenant refuses to sign an N11, or wants to change their mind?
It only takes effect once both parties agree and sign; it is not something one side can impose. If a landlord wants to end a tenancy without the tenant’s agreement, that requires a different notice, such as the N9 the tenant can use unilaterally, or a landlord-side notice matched to the actual reason.
