When can a landlord use this notice?
If your housing is covered by the RTA, a landlord or buyer must give you a written eviction notice on a form called Notice to End your Tenancy Because the Landlord, a Purchaser, or a Family Member Requires the Rental Unit — Form N12.
A landlord can only try to evict you using the Form N12 if one of these people plan to move in:
- the buyer or the landlord
- the buyer or landlord’s spouse, parents, or children
- the buyer or landlord’s parents-in-law or stepchildren
- a caregiver for any of the above people
And the person moving in must swear a statement that they plan to live in the rental unit full-time. If the person moving in is the landlord, their family member, or a caregiver for the landlord or their family member, the statement also needs to say that they plan to live in the rental unit for at least one year. The landlord should file this statement with the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) when they apply to evict you.
If the buyer, their family member, or a caregiver for the buyer or their family member is moving in, you can only be evicted if:
- your building has 3 units or fewer, or
- you live in a condo unit.
