N12: Notice to End your Tenancy Because the Landlord, a Purchaser or a Family Member Requires the Rental Unit  

Step 1: Assessing the N12 Notice 

• Determine the rental period. 
• Termination date or notice that you must give to the tenant is 60 days. 
• Discuss compensation to the tenant: 
• Pay tenant 1 month’s rent, OR 
• Offer them another unit that is acceptable to them. 
• Along with the date it is due.  

Step 2: Serving the Notice 

• Confirm if the tenant consents to email. 
• If yes, email the documents followed by Canada Post next day delivery. 
• If not, send only by Canada Post next day delivery. 
• We recommend sending it both ways to ensure delivery. 

• Complete the Certificate of Service to document when and how the notice was given. 
• The termination period and the earliest filing with the board for eviction are not reliant on each other. 
• You can apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) for an order to terminate the tenancy immediately after giving the notice to the tenant. 
• Ensure application is made no later than 30 days after the termination date specified in this notice.  

Step 3: Pricing Explanation 

• Our firm strongly believes in fixed fee rates for transparency and predictability. 

Step 4: Application Serving

 Step 5: Waiting for Hearing Date
