London N13 & Schedule 23 Timeline Mapper
The Strict 7-Day Municipal Countdown
Once an N13 notice is issued to a tenant in London, Ontario, the clock starts immediately. Landlords have exactly 7 days to apply for the required $600 City of London Rental Unit Repair Licence under Schedule 23. Missing this municipal deadline can void the process and expose the file to compliance risk at the LTB stage. This mapper helps you lock in that critical final date so your notice sequence stays enforceable and documented.
Building Permits: The Prerequisite
Under the 2025 London compliance reality, building permits must be approved and in hand before the N13 is served. Serving first and permitting later creates a retroactive sequence that can invalidate your notice path. The permit is the legal prerequisite, and your municipal licensing timeline only begins after valid issuance. Use this timeline workflow to confirm your permit-first order before moving forward with tenant service.
You have exactly 7 days from the moment you hand the N13 notice to your tenant to apply for the licence with the City of London.
No. Retroactive permits equal an invalid notice. You must secure the City of London building permit before you are legally allowed to issue an N13.
The mandatory municipal application fee is $600.00 per unit.
