The Use Of The Ontario Certificate Of Service Proof Tenant Was Served
- Landlords may use this form to prove that they have served a tenant with the appropriate notice for the situation. This can be used in conjunction with one of the following forms:
- The Notice of Termination,
- Application,
- Notice of Hearing,
- Motion to Set Aside an Ex Part Order,
- Request to Review and Order,
- And several more.
Since the timing of serving a form and having a tenant clearly receive the notice is important, using this form to show proof of delivery is crucial.
What This Form Cannot Be Used For
With so many forms available for landlords to use for specific reasons, it can be easy to use the wrong one or get the various forms confused. This certificate of service can only be used to prove that a tenant received a different notice. This form itself cannot be used as a notice for any reason.
Successfully Using This Proof Tenant
Using this form and having the evidence to prove that you delivered the appropriate notice can mean the difference between effectively evicting a tenant and having a lengthy and costly dispute. The key to using this form is to have all the information and the details filled in correctly so that the involved parties can simply sign the document.
This document needs to include the address of the property in question, the name of the notice that has been previously served, the names and roles of everyone involved, and how this form was delivered.
The Reason This Form Is So Important
Using this form as proof that another notice has been delivered can prevent any question of how, where or when the notice was served should there be conflict or a dispute from the tenant.
