Question about Ontario N9 form
<p>A tenant provides an N9 form to a landlord (<a href="http://www.sjto.gov.on.ca/documents/ltb/Notices%20of%20Termination%20&amp;%20Instructions/N9.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.sjto.gov.on.ca/documents/ltb/Notices%20of%20Termination%20&amp;%20Instructions/N9.pdf</a>), a tenant's notice to end the tenancy, on November 5, 2019 stating that they would like to move out of the rental unit on December 4, 2019. </p>

<p>Let's say the original (1 year) lease was supposed to end on August 31, 2020.</p>

<p>I was under the impression that the tenant's termination date must be 60 days after the giving of this notice. </p>

<p>Would this mean that the tenant would still be responsible for providing the rent for December, as 60 days would not be until Jan 4?   </p>

<p>Additionally, would the tenant be responsible for payment of the 4 days in January (4/31 of the rent)? </p>

<p>If you turn in an N9 form and move before the six month period is over, the landlord is supposed to make his best effort to rent the property to someone else. </p>

<p>If no one else rents it, then you should compensate the landlord for whatever the losses were.</p>

<p>That means, if it takes two months to find someone to rent the apartment, that you should help cover losses for those two months and you would be off the hook for the remaining four months of the lease period.</p>

<p>Both of you are supposed to do your best to mitigate the losses, on each end.
