A mailed notice counts as received a few days after it is mailed. The rules below say how many.

The tenancy can end on November 30, 2026 at the earliest, 76 days after the notice is given. Rent is owed up to and including that day.

Tenant notice rules by province

Most provinces ask for one full rental month of notice, counted from the day rent is due, not 30 days. Ontario asks for 60 days, and Quebec counts a month from the day the notice is given.

How the calculator works

The calculator takes the date the landlord gets the notice and the day rent is due, and applies the province's rule to find the first allowed end date. Rent is owed up to and including that day.

  1. Most provinces: end date = the last day of the first full rental month after the notice arrives
  2. Ontario: end date = the last day of the first rental period that ends at least 60 days after the notice
  3. Quebec: end date = the date the notice is given + 1 month

Worked example

The calculator opens on Ontario with notice received on September 15, 2026 and rent due on the 1st. The tenancy can end on November 30, 2026 at the earliest, 76 days after the notice is given. Rent is owed up to and including that day. Each province page walks through the same example under its own rules.

Move-out notice questions

How much notice does a tenant need to give to move out?

It depends on the province, and it is counted from the day the landlord gets the notice. British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island: one full rental month, received before a rental month starts. Alberta, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador: one full rental month, given by the first day of a rental month. Ontario: 60 days, to the end of a rental period. Quebec: 1 to 2 months, ending on any day.

Does 30 days' notice count as a month?

Usually not. Most provinces count whole rental months that start on the day rent is due, so notice given partway through a month runs to the end of the following month. Ontario counts 60 days to the end of a rental period instead.

Do these rules apply at the end of a fixed-term lease?

Not always. In some provinces a fixed-term lease ends by itself and no notice is needed; in others it carries on month to month, or renews, unless the tenant gives notice. Each province page explains its rule.
