Can I fight the notice to move out?
Yes. The landlord or buyer cannot force you to move until they get an eviction order from the LTB. The LTB will hold a hearing to decide if they will give this eviction order. The landlord or buyer will have to prove that they followed all the right steps to evict you. And they must show the LTB that the person moving in honestly plans to live there for at least one year.
You can tell the LTB why you think you should not be evicted.
For example, you might want to challenge the notice if:
- you do not believe the person is really going to move in
- the person moving in is not the landlord, buyer, close family member, or a caregiver
- there are problems with the Form N12
- your landlord or buyer has given other Form N12 notices in the past and never moved in
- your personal situation makes it very difficult for you to move
This is not a complete list of the reasons you can use to challenge the notice. It is a good idea to get legal help if you plan to fight the eviction.
