Send a rent increase notice (with the Ontario N1 form)

When you raise an Ontario tenant's rent, Wealtharu can fill the official Form N1 ("Notice of Rent Increase") for you and attach it to the email the tenant receives. You review everything before it goes out, and you can sign the form on screen.

The short version

• Open the lease, go to the Money area, and use the rent increase tool.
• Enter the new rent and the effective date, then Check it against the province guideline and notice period.
• Choose Apply now or Schedule for the effective date.
• For an Ontario property, a review screen opens: check the email, edit it if you want, sign the N1, preview the filled form, then send.

Step by step

1. Open the lease and find the rent increase section.
2. Enter the new rent and the effective date. The effective date must be far enough out to meet your province's notice period (in Ontario, at least 90 days).
3. Click Check. Wealtharu shows whether the increase is within the guideline and whether the notice period is met.
4. Click Apply now & notify (changes the rent now) or Schedule for effective date (serves the notice now and applies the new rent automatically on the date).
5. For an Ontario property, the Review the notice screen opens: - To / From: who the notice goes to and who it is from. - Email subject and body: edit the wording if you want. - Warnings: anything you need to finish by hand. For example, if the increase is above the guideline, the form asks you to indicate the LTB approval that applies. - Signature: draw your signature, or leave it blank to print and sign by hand. - Preview the N1 PDF: opens the filled form exactly as the tenant will receive it.
6. Click Send now (or Schedule and serve). The tenant gets the email with the completed N1 attached as a PDF.

What the tenant receives

• A branded Wealtharu email with your subject and message.
• The completed Form N1 as a PDF attachment (Ontario properties).

Good to know

• Other provinces: the notice email is still sent, without the Ontario N1 (which is Ontario-specific).
• Review before serving: Wealtharu fills the N1 from your lease data. Always check it before serving. This is tooling, not legal advice.
• Above the guideline: Wealtharu still lets you proceed if you have grounds or approval, but you must complete the approval section on the form yourself.
• Signature optional: if you do not sign on screen, print the attached PDF and sign it by hand before serving.

If you do not see the review screen

The Ontario N1 attachment and review screen are a feature your account administrator turns on. If it is off, the tenant still receives the plain rent-increase notice email. Ask your administrator to enable rent increase N1 to get the filled form.
