Newfoundland and Labrador tenancy

NL unpaid-rent notice timing planner (section 19)

Compare Newfoundland and Labrador weekly 3-day/3-day and monthly 5-day/10-day unpaid-rent notices without treating either as an eviction order.

Estimate notice timing only

Section 19 distinguishes weekly tenancies (rent overdue at least three days and a termination date not less than three days after notice) from month-to-month, fixed-term and mobile-home-site tenancies (at least five days overdue and ten days after notice). Proper service, subsequent payment and dispute facts may change the outcome.

This is not an eviction order. A landlord cannot bypass the director and lawfully remove a tenant simply because a calculator has reached a date. Check the prescribed notice and service rules.

Preserve proof of payment and service

Keep the rental agreement, rent ledger, method and evidence of delivery, any response and communications. If arrears were paid or a notice is disputed, seek an official determination.
