Eviction notices

N4, N12, N13 — what each notice means and what voids it.

N12 — Landlord/purchaser own useAn N12 ends your tenancy for the landlord, a buyer, or a close family member to move in. It needs 60 days' notice AND one month's rent compensation. Bad-faith N12s are illegal.Open case workspace →
N13 — Demolition, conversion, or major repairs (renoviction)An N13 ends a tenancy for demolition, conversion, or repairs so extensive they need a building permit and a vacant unit. You have a right of first refusal to return at the old rent.Open case workspace →
