Start this document $2.99 or in the monthly planHow it works
What you will fill in
- Which province is the rental home in?
- Landlord's full legal name
- Tenant's full name (all tenants on the lease)
- Address of the rental unit
- Monthly rent ($)
- What kind of change is this?
- Which months are affected?

- How will it be repaid?
- Each instalment ($)
- First repayment date (or lump sum date)
- Days of grace before a missed payment counts as a default
Good to know
- Keep this separate from the lease. It changes nothing else, and the regular rent comes back on its own after the months listed.
- In Ontario, a private agreement is not an LTB order. If the tenant misses a payment, the landlord still has to use the N4 notice and an LTB application. For a deal the LTB can enforce directly, ask for LTB mediation or a consent order.
- Write every payment on a rent receipt so both sides can see the balance going down.
