What does a landlord need to generate a Four Month Notice to End Tenancy? For landlord or purchaser occupation of the rental unit on or after July 18, 2024, the notice must be generated through the Residential Tenancy Branch’s web portal. The required notice is the Four Month Notice to End Tenancy for Landlord’s Use of Property – form RTB-32L. Notices generated through the portal have a unique Notice ID in the top left corner. The preparation starts with birthdates. Landlords must provide their own birthdate and those of related people, such as the purchaser and the person moving into the rental unit, if applicable. These details are for internal Residential Tenancy Branch use only; they will not appear on the generated Notice. Have them on hand before completing the web portal. But generating the notice is only part of the timing requirement. When a landlord generates it on the last day of the rental cycle and intends to serve the tenant in person before the next rental cycle begins, the notice must be generated before 9 p.m. For example, suppose rent is due on the first of the month. The landlord generates the Notice on July 31, 2024, intending to take possession on December 1, 2
