Frequently Asked Questions
What is an N12 eviction notice?
An N12 is a notice to end tenancy because the landlord, a purchaser, or a family member requires the unit for their own residential use. It requires 60 days notice and one month's rent compensation to the tenant.
Can a tenant fight an N12 eviction?
Yes. Tenants can challenge N12 evictions by arguing the landlord doesn't genuinely intend to occupy the unit, questioning whether the named person qualifies as family, or showing the landlord has a pattern of N12 evictions suggesting bad faith.
What happens if a landlord doesn't move in after N12?
If the landlord doesn't occupy the unit for at least 12 months, the tenant can file a T5 application claiming bad faith. The LTB can order the landlord to pay compensation equal to 12 months rent or the difference between old and new rent.
How long will my LTB case take?
Current processing times vary 3-12 months depending on application type and urgency. We work to move your case forward as efficiently as possible.
