How to give this notice to the tenant...

There are many ways that you can give this notice to the tenant. You can:



hand it directly to the tenant or to an adult in the rental unit,



leave it in the tenant's mailbox or where mail is ordinarily delivered,



place it under the door of the rental unit or through a mail slot in the door,



send it by fax to a fax machine where the tenant carries on business or to a fax

machine in their residence,



send it by courier (if you courier it, you must allow one business day for

delivery),



send it by mail (if you mail it, you must allow five days for delivery).

You cannot give this notice to the tenant by posting it on the door to the tenants

rental unit.

Keep a copy of this notice for your records.

I'm not sure about Ontario, but you can make service in Alberta electronically as a last resort. However, you have to email a signed copy to the tenant and they have to acknowledge the receipt. If they are avoiding service electronic service is probably not going to work. It is the least preferred method of service.

no you cannot serve by email.
