LTB · RTA amendmentN12 own-use evictions: no compensation with 120 days' notice
An N12 given on or after September 21 that provides at least 120 days' notice no longer requires one month's rent compensation (purchaser notices excepted). The landlord or other specified person must normally move in within 60 days of the date in the notice; if not, bad faith is presumed in a T5 application.
