Practical help for Cobourg landlords preparing rent arrears files after an N4 notice.

Speak with our team

Cobourg rent arrears files need clear unit descriptions

Cobourg rentals may include converted homes, apartments, houses, and waterfront-area residential units. The N4 and L1 should make the unit and tenancy clear, especially where the property has multiple units or an older layout. An L1 Application for non-payment of rent should not leave the Board guessing about the rental.

The N4 should list rent arrears only and use the correct termination date. If the tenant pays after the notice, the current balance should be updated.

Preparing the Cobourg evidence

The landlord should prepare a ledger showing rent charged, payments received, and the remaining balance. Payment proof, messages, lease terms, and repair records should be organized before the hearing. If the tenant says there was a payment plan or repairs were outstanding, the file should be ready to answer that.

Other issues may require a separate Core LTB Applications review so the L1 stays focused.

Frequently asked questions
