Prepare notices to serve on your tenant or your landlord with these downloadable Landlord and Tenant Notice Forms for Nova Scotia.
The Residential Tenancies Act of Nova Scotia stipulates when and how either the landlord or the tenant needs to give formal written notice to the other party, such as:
- when one of the parties wants to terminate the tenancy,
- if the tenant has failed to pay the rent on time,
- if either party has failed to perform its obligations under the lease or tenancy agreement,
- if major renovations are necessary which require the premises to be empty,
- if the landlord needs to enter the premises to inspect or repair or to show the premises to a prospective tenant or buyer.
The Act sets out the manner in which notice must be given, and the time period which must be given for the other party to respond to the notice.
