New Brunswick residential tenancy
Serving New Brunswick tenancy forms and preparing evidence
How to build a clear chronology and prove that a notice was received.
Record delivery and receipt
For notices with short time limits, save copies of the actual notice, method of delivery, dates, named recipient, and any delivery confirmation. An ordinary sent date may differ from legal receipt.
Evidence bundle
Use the lease, payment ledger, deposit certificate, dated messages, inspection photographs and timeline of events. Provide copies as directed by the Tenant and Landlord Relations Office.
The official government directory provides applications for assistance and a Notice of Complaint form. A formal decision may require the officer’s own procedures; do not assume emailing documents to another party completes legal service.

Create numbered entries: 1. lease and amendments; 2. the exact notice with all pages; 3. proof of receipt or delivery; 4. rental payment ledger; 5. relevant messages; 6. inspection and repair photos.
Write a one-page chronology that points to the exhibit number for each material event. A chronology cannot replace a legal notice but can help the office understand your complaint efficiently.
If documents contain personal information about children or unrelated third parties, check what the official process requires and redact only where allowed. Keep unaltered originals.
