This is a real example of an eviction notice used in an Ontario power of sale, with personal details redacted. After a lender obtains possession rights, occupants receive written notice of the date by which they must vacate the property before the sheriff attends to enforce the Writ of Possession. The example below shows the wording and the timelines involved.
For what an eviction notice means and the options still available at this stage, see What is an Eviction Notice in Ontario?
Eviction is the last step in the power of sale process, and the notice period it grants is short — typically days, not weeks. The Court Enforcement Office (sheriff) schedules the physical eviction, and only the sheriff may carry it out; the lender cannot change the locks on its own before then. Even at this stage, paying out the mortgage, closing a refinance, or reaching a settlement with the lender can stop the eviction. Homeowners in this position should get advice immediately rather than waiting for the sheriff’s date.
