💸 Rent is due on the first.

Forgot to pay? 😬 Don’t panic…but don’t ignore it either.

If your rent isn’t paid, your landlord may serve you an N4 Notice to End your Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent.

An N4 gives you a deadline to pay what you owe. It doesn’t mean you’re automatically evicted, but ignoring it can lead to your landlord applying to the Landlord and Tenant Board.

So… if you’re watching this after the first:

👀 Check your bank account.
💸 Check your rent payment.
📱 And maybe check your landlord’s messages.

🏠 Know your rights. Know your responsibilities.

🔊 Living off-campus means being a good neighbour, too!

Whether it’s music, pets, power tools, or just hanging out with friends, the noise you make can affect the people around you.

North Bay has a Noise Control By-Law that sets rules around different types of noise — so it’s worth knowing the basics before a neighbour comes knocking. 👀

🏠 Know the rules. Keep the peace. Be a good neighbour.

“But I didn’t do anything wrong!” 😳

Can your landlord evict you even if you’ve done nothing wrong?

Sometimes, yes.

There are fault-based and no-fault grounds for ending a tenancy in Ontario. But that doesn’t mean your landlord can simply tell you to leave — there are specific rules, notices, and processes that have to be followed.

If you ever receive an eviction notice, don’t panic. Know your rights and understand what happens next. 🏠

Did you know your lease doesn't just "expire" when your 12 months are up? 👀

In Ontario, if you stay in your unit after your fixed-term lease ends, your tenancy automatically continues on a month-to-month basis — same terms, no new lease required. And your landlord cannot force you to sign a new one 💙

Swipe to learn what that means for you and what to keep in mind going forward 👉

✍️ Signing the lease is just one step—the next is receiving your signed copy.

In Ontario, landlords are required to provide tenants with a signed copy of the lease within 21 days after the tenant signs it.

Your lease outlines important details like the rent amount, what’s included, and the terms of your tenancy, so be sure to keep a copy for your records.

💰 Paying rent? Know your options!

Whether you’re renting for the first time or have been living off campus for a while, it’s important to understand the different methods of paying rent and what each one means.

Common payment methods include:
💳 E-Transfer
💵 Cash
📝 Cheque or Post-Dated Cheques
🏦 Pre-Authorized Debit

Whichever method you choose:
✔️ Keep a record of your payments.
✔️ Ask for a receipt if you pay by cash.
✔️ Ensure there are sufficient funds in your account before rent is due to help avoid NSF-related costs.
