Form N5C – Notice by the Co-op to End your Occupancy for Interfering with Others, Damage or Overcrowding

The document is a legal notice (N5C) issued by a co-op to a member, proposing to terminate their occupancy due to reasons such as substantial interference with others, damage, or overcrowding. It outlines the reasons for eviction, and corrective actions required within a specified timeframe to avoid eviction, and details the legal implications and processes involved, including engagement with the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) if disputes arise.

To fill out the N5C notice for ending a co-op member’s occupancy due to issues like substantial interference, damage, or overcrowding, follow these steps:

1. Co-op Member’s Information: At the top of the form, fill in the co-op member’s name and the address of the member unit that is subject to the notice.
2. Reason(s) for Ending Occupancy: The notice provides checkboxes or spaces to indicate the specific reason(s) for ending the member’s occupancy. This could include substantial interference with others, damage to the property, or overcrowding. Check the appropriate box(es) and provide detailed information if necessary.
3. Corrective Actions and Deadlines: Depending on the reason for the notice, the member may have the opportunity to correct the issue(s) within a specified timeframe, typically 7 days. This section should clearly outline what the member must do to rectify the situation and avoid eviction.
4. Termination Date: Indicate the termination date of the occupancy, which varies depending on whether it is the first or second notice given within a six-month period. For the first notice, the termination date must be at least 20 days after issuing the notice. For the second notice for the same reason within six months, it must be at least 14 days after the notice is given.
5. Details About the Reasons for Notice: Provide specific details about the events or circumstances leading to the notice. This may include dates, times, and descriptions of the behavior or conditions that have violated the co-op’s rules or agreements.
6. Signature and Representative Information: The notice must be signed by an authorized co-op representative. Include the representative’s name, position, contact information, and the date the notice was signed.
7. Additional Pages: If necessary, attach additional pages to provide further details or explanations regarding the reasons for the notice.

It is important to be clear, specific, and factual when filling out the notice to ensure the co-op member understands the reasons for the potential eviction and the steps they can take to address the issue.
