Step-by-step in New Brunswick
- 1Identify your grounds. Non-payment, persistent late payments, illegal activity, or landlord-own-use each have a different notice type under the Residential Tenancies Act (NB).
- 2Serve the correct notice. In New Brunswick, the standard notice is Notice of Termination Form 6. Central Rentals pre-fills the right form based on your grounds and tenant data.
- 3Wait out the statutory notice period. New Brunswick requires a specific number of days before you can apply to the Residential Tenancies Tribunal — Central Rentals counts these days automatically.
- 4File the eviction application. Submit your case to the Residential Tenancies Tribunal with all served notices, the lease, and rent ledger as evidence. Central Rentals exports this bundle in PDF.
- 5Attend the hearing. Bring your evidence, served notices, and rent ledger. Central Rentals stores everything in one tap-to-share folder.
- 6Enforce the order. If granted, the Residential Tenancies Tribunal order is enforced by the local sheriff or bailiff — Central Rentals reminds you of the move-out date and helps you reclaim possession.
Why this matters
Because New Brunswick's Residential Tenancies Act (NB) is heavily tenant-protective, even one procedural mistake (wrong notice, wrong service method, wrong days) can void an entire eviction. Following the documented path is the only way to win at Residential Tenancies Tribunal.
Frequently asked
Can I evict for non-payment of rent in New Brunswick?
Yes. After Notice of Termination Form 6 is served and the statutory window passes, you can apply to the Residential Tenancies Tribunal. Central Rentals' Late Rent Module sends the notice automatically when rent is past due.
How long does an eviction take in New Brunswick in 2026?
Typical end-to-end timelines range from 6 weeks (uncontested non-payment) to 6 months (contested cause). Residential Tenancies Tribunal backlog and your evidence quality determine the outcome — Central Rentals' bundle reduces hearings.
What if my tenant pays the rent after I serve Notice of Termination Form 6?
In most provinces, paying the arrears within the notice period voids the notice. Central Rentals warns you when a payment cancels a notice so you don't lose the timeline.
