N5: Notice to End your Tenancy for Interference, Damage or Overcrowding
Behaviour-based termination notice: substantial interference, damage, or overcrowding.
The current rules
First N5: termination date at least 20 days out, and the tenant has a 7-day remedy period — if they correct the problem, the notice is void.
Second N5 within 6 months of the first: at least 14 days, no remedy period.
Each incident needs dates, times and specific details.
What voids it
Vague allegations without dates and specifics.
Treating a second N5 as a first (or vice versa) — the periods differ.
Filing the L2 while the remedy period is still running.
