Question: A tenant is 15 days late with their rent payment. What is the minimum notice period a landlord must provide for a Notice to Vacate for non-payment of rent in a periodic tenancy?

Answer options:

  • 24 hours
  • 14 days ✅ 7 days
  • 3 days

Correct answer: 7 days

Explanation: Under the Residential Tenancies Act, if a tenant fails to pay rent, the landlord can issue a 14-day notice to terminate the tenancy, but this clock starts after 7 full days of non-payment. Thus, a landlord must typically provide 7 days' written notice to vacate if rent is unpaid, allowing the tenant to remedy the breach before termination.
