What day is rent considered late?

Your lease says when rent is due, and the Act requires that it be paid when due. There is no grace period, so rent not paid on the due date is a breach. The landlord can serve a notice of at least 14 clear days for unpaid rent, and paying all the rent owing on or before the termination date cancels it.

A late fee is allowed only if the lease includes one. It has no cap, but it should reflect the landlord's actual loss or the RTDRS or a court may refuse it. The Act does not require receipts, though the government recommends them.

The tenancy agreement must state the day rent is due, and the provincial rent information sheet says it is due by midnight on that day. If rent is late by even one day, or short by any amount, the landlord can serve a 10 Day Notice (RTB-30). It takes effect no earlier than 10 days after you receive it, and you have 5 days to pay or dispute it.

A landlord must give a receipt for rent paid in cash. A late fee of up to $25 is allowed only if the agreement provides for it.

Rent is due on the dates in the tenancy agreement, and a term making rent payable earlier than the stated date is void. Once rent is 3 days late the landlord can give a notice of termination. You avoid termination by paying the full amount owing plus prescribed costs by the date on the notice, and the landlord keeps the notice alive only by confirming in writing, at the time of payment, that it still treats the tenancy as ended.

A late fee needs written notice first and is capped at $10 for the due day plus $2 for each later day, to $100. Landlords must give a written receipt for cash, and automatic debit counts as cash for this purpose.

The written tenancy agreement must state the day rent is due. If your landlord did not give you a copy of the written agreement, your duty to pay rent is suspended. Once rent is 15 days or more overdue the landlord can serve a notice to end the tenancy, and being repeatedly late is a separate ground for a one-month notice.

Landlords must give a receipt for rent paid in cash. We found no rule on late fees, so ask the Office of Residential Tenancies before paying one.

The lease sets the due date, and we found no rule setting a default day or a grace period. A landlord can give an N4 notice with a termination date at least 7 days after it is given (for notices given on or after September 21, 2026). The notice is void if you pay all the arrears before the landlord files with the Landlord and Tenant Board.

Late fees are not allowed. From September 21, 2026, paying more than 7 days late on at least 3 occasions in any 6-month period is one example of persistent late payment, which is a ground for an N8 notice with 60 days; the list of examples is not exhaustive. A landlord must give a free receipt on request for any payment.

The Standard Form of Lease sets the date of the first payment and the day each week or month that rent is due. If rent is unpaid the landlord can serve a Notice to Vacate giving at least 15 days. Paying all the rent due within 7 days cancels it, unless the landlord has already served one before and says so in the notice.

Any payment you make goes first to rent arrears. The only late fee allowed is the bank's actual NSF charge for a bounced cheque, and only if the lease says so. The Act does not require receipts, but the government advises asking for one for every payment.

The standard lease has a blank for the day rent is due and boxes for how it is paid. From the 4th day after rent is due the landlord can serve a notice for unpaid rent, effective no earlier than the 10th day after the notice is given. You have 10 days to pay the arrears, which makes the notice void.

A late fee is allowed only if the lease includes one, at up to 1% of the monthly rent per month. We found no rule requiring receipts, so keep your own record of each payment.

The tenancy agreement must state the day rent is due and how often it is paid, and rent is due whether or not the landlord is complying with the Act. There is no grace period: a landlord can serve a Form 4A notice the day after rent is due. It ends the tenancy no earlier than 20 days after you receive it, and you have 10 days to pay.

Landlords must give a receipt for rent paid in cash. The Act does not list a late fee among the fees a landlord may charge.

The rental agreement sets the due date and time. If rent is due on the 1st and no time is stated, it is due by midnight on the 1st and is not overdue until the 2nd. Once rent is 5 days overdue the landlord can serve a notice with a vacate date at least 10 days after service. Paying all overdue rent plus any fee before that date voids the notice, but this works only twice in a 12-month period.

The late fee is $5 for the first day plus $2 for each further day, up to $75. A landlord must give a receipt for any payment when you ask.
