1. Check for problems with the notice

The Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) can dismiss your landlord's case if there are problems with the Form N12: Notice to End your Tenancy Because the Landlord, a Purchaser or a Family Member Requires the Rental Unit that your landlord gave you.

For example:

• you did not get the Form N12 notice within the right time period
• the N12 does not tell you who wants to move in.

There's a full list of reasons you might be able to use to fight your landlord's Form N12 in .

Compensation from your landlord

If your landlord gives you a 60-day N12 notice, they must do one of the following before the termination date:

• offer you another acceptable unit to move to,
• pay you at least one month's rent, or
• let you skip paying rent for at least one month.

The termination date is the date that your landlord wants you to move out.

No compensation for 120-day notice

For their personal use, if your landlord gives you a 120-day N12 notice before the termination date, there is no compensation or offer of another unit.

If your landlord does not follow the rules, the LTB can dismiss their application.
