When is RTB-58 required?
Use it during the purchaser-occupancy notice generation process when the buyer or qualifying close family member intends to occupy the rental unit and the seller is eligible to issue a purchaser-use notice on the buyer’s written request. The Province’s Landlord Use Web Portal requires both the completed RTB-58 and the purchaser’s written request for the seller to issue the notice. The portal, not this worksheet, generates the actual RTB-32P notice. A sale alone does not automatically end an existing tenancy.
Complete all four sections using the final contract
- Section 1 — Buyer’s brokerage information: Complete only if the buyer was represented by a brokerage. Enter the brokerage’s name, telephone number and full business address.
- Section 2 — Buyer and seller names: Enter the buyer or buyers and seller or sellers exactly as named in the final contract. The form provides room for multiple parties.
- Section 3 — Property and sale information: Enter the property identification (PID) number, date the contract was prepared, completion date and possession date, using the date format shown on the form. Do not confuse closing/completion with possession.
- Section 4 — Declaration: The landlord or authorized agent prints their name, signs and dates the statement confirming the RTB-58 details are identical to the final Contract of Purchase and Sale.
Upload through the correct portal
Once all details are checked against the signed contract, the landlord or authorized agent must upload RTB-58 through the official Landlord Use Web Portal while preparing the purchaser-use notice. Also provide the buyer’s written request as required. Follow the current portal instructions for the resulting RTB-32P notice, service on tenants, the effective date and the tenant’s right to dispute. Do not simply hand RTB-58 to the tenant as though it were a notice to end tenancy.
Keep the transaction records consistent
Retain the final purchase-and-sale contract, purchaser’s written request, completed RTB-58, portal confirmation, generated RTB-32P and proof of valid service. Differences in buyers’ names, PID or dates can undermine the records supporting the notice. If the deal changes before the notice is issued, confirm the portal data against the final contract rather than reusing older draft details.
Common mistakes
Leaving out the purchaser’s written request, using an unsigned or earlier draft contract, entering the wrong PID or confusing possession and completion dates, failing to upload the RTB-58 in the portal, or treating this information form as the actual RTB-32P termination notice.
