What to check first
Identify the form number, notice date, stated reason, every page of the notice, service method and date you actually or legally received it.
Next steps
Use the eviction deadline planner for an estimate, then check against the original notice and RTB instructions promptly.
Important exception or mistake
Renovations often require an RTB possession proceeding rather than a landlord unilaterally issuing a standard renovation eviction notice.
Keep for your records
Keep the original notice or agreement, messages with dates, payment records, proof of delivery and any hearing confirmation. The rules can differ depending on the request and how the papers were delivered.
Caretaker conversions: Landlords must generate RTB-29C through the official notice portal for qualifying caretaker, manager or superintendent use; do not substitute paper RTB-29.
