What is Form 11?
The Residential Tenancies Authority publishes Form 11 for use when either party to a general tenancy claims a breach of the tenancy agreement during the tenancy. The notice explains the alleged breach and directs the person receiving it to fix the problem within a set time. A property manager or owner can use it, for example, where rent is unpaid or the property is not being kept in the agreed condition, and a tenant can use it where the lessor has not met their obligations, such as failing to carry out repairs.
For a general tenancy the remedy period is usually 7 days: the notice gives the other party at least 7 days to remedy the breach. The form is not sent to the RTA; the person giving it keeps a copy for their records. If the breach is not fixed within the time given, the next steps can include ending the tenancy or using the RTA’s free dispute resolution service. This is a standard fillable PDF, so you can complete it on screen before signing.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the other party get to fix the breach?
For a general tenancy the notice usually gives at least 7 days to remedy the breach. Allow the full period when you set the date, because an incorrect remedy period can make the notice ineffective.
Do I send Form 11 to the RTA?
No. The notice is given to the other party to the tenancy, and you keep a copy for your records. The RTA is not sent the form, though its free dispute resolution service can help if the breach is not resolved.
What if the breach is not fixed in time?
If the other party does not remedy the breach within the time given, the next steps can include issuing a notice to end the tenancy or applying to the RTA’s dispute resolution service. Check the current process on the RTA website.
