N13 renovation eviction in London, Ontario. Extensive renovations requiring vacant possession. Landlord and tenant representation available.
An N13 requires renovations so extensive that vacant possession is necessary and proper permits have been obtained. Minor renovations that can be done with the tenant in place don't qualify. The landlord must provide evidence of permits and scope of work.
Yes, tenants have the right of first refusal to return to the unit at the same rent after renovations are complete. Landlords must give proper notice when the unit is ready. Tenants can waive this right for compensation.
Tenants can challenge N13s by arguing: the renovations don't require vacant possession, required permits weren't obtained, the landlord is using N13 to circumvent rent control, or the landlord has a history of bad faith renovictions.
Current processing times vary 3-12 months depending on application type and urgency. We work to move your case forward as efficiently as possible.
