How Notice Validation Works
Compliance Intelligence
AnchorLease runs deterministic field, date and amount checks against the Ontario rules configured in the product. It cannot verify facts you have not supplied and does not make a final legal conclusion; uncertainty requires more evidence or manual review.
Date Validation
Date rules checked by the engine include:
- N1: Effective date at least 90 days after service, falls on first day of rental period, at least 12 months since last increase
- N4: Earliest termination date is checked from actual/deemed service and the rule then in force; it need not be the last day of a rental period
- N12: Termination date at least 60 days after service, falls on last day of rental period
Amount & Guideline Checks
For N1 notices, the system checks the increase against the configured guideline for the effective year. For N4 notices, it assembles candidate arrears, excludes identified non-rent items, and requires the user to confirm partial payments, deposit allocation and lawful rent; ledger values are not treated as a legal conclusion.
Validation Results
If a check finds a blocking issue, the app explains what evidence or decision is missing and how to proceed; blockers must be resolved before a draft can be generated. Non-blocking cautions remain for the user or licensed reviewer.
Tip: Notice validation is one of AnchorLease's core features. Incorrect termination dates are the #1 reason N4s get dismissed at the LTB. Let compliance intelligence catch these errors for you.
