Why You Must Get It Right the First Time


When you need your rental unit back — for yourself, a family member, or a buyer — the N12 process must be followed with precision. One small mistake can void the entire notice, delay your timeline by months, or get your application dismissed at the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).


We help Ontario landlords file the N12 the right way — legally, efficiently, and without costly setbacks.


  • ✔ Legally sound and strategically prepared
  • ✔ Flat-fee pricing with no surprise costs
  • ✔ Fast, expert support from licensed Ontario paralegals

Who Qualifies for an N12 Eviction in Ontario?

  • You, a spouse, parent or child plan to move into the unit
  • A buyer plans to occupy the unit for at least 12 months


Important:

  • Provide 60 days’ notice, aligned with the rental period
  • Pay one month’s rent compensation on or before the termination date (not after) - not after 
  • If the tenant doesn't vacate, file your L2 application within 30 days of the termination date—any delay risks dismissal
