EasyServe vs SingleKey

SingleKey screens tenants and guarantees rent. EasyServe does the part that comes when rent goes unpaid: a form-perfect Ontario N4, a Certificate of Service, and tracked proof of service — from $9, with no account.

What EasyServe does that a screening tool doesn't

Screening and rent guarantee happen before a tenancy goes wrong. EasyServe is built for the moment after — turning unpaid rent into an LTB-ready notice with proof you served it.

A real N4 generator, not just a guide

SingleKey publishes a how-to article on the N4. EasyServe generates the form itself — a comb-box-accurate, LTB-ready N4 PDF with your rent periods totalled and the amounts checked.

Certificate of Service included

Every N4 comes with an auto-generated Certificate of Service — the proof the LTB expects when you file an L1. It's free with your notice.

Termination dates done for you

EasyServe calculates the earliest valid termination date to Ontario's rules — including Bill 60's 14→7 day change on September 21, 2026 and the mail +5 / courier +1 offsets.

How Bill 60 changes the N4

Serve it by tracked mail

Add Print & Ship and we print your N4 and Certificate of Service and mail them by Canada Post Xpresspost with a tracking number — documented proof of service, no trip to the post office.

Where SingleKey is the better fit

If you're deciding whether to rent to someone, SingleKey is built for that: tenant screening with credit, background, and identity checks, a Rent Guarantee program that covers unpaid rent, and online rent collection. EasyServe doesn't do screening or guarantee rent — it starts once you need to serve an LTB notice. The two work well side by side.
