Dedicated Legal Services for Your Property and Notary Needs
Understanding N12 Notices
An N12 notice is a form used by landlords to terminate a tenancy agreement for personal use. This notice must include details about the specific reason for the termination, as well as any compensation that may be owed to the tenant. Failure to comply with the proper procedures for an N12 notice can result in legal consequences.
Yes, you have the right to dispute an N12 notice if you believe it is not valid or if you feel that your rights have been violated.
"Landlord's own use" refers to a landlord's intention to occupy the rental unit for their personal use or that of an immediate family member. "Purchaser's own use" refers to the intention of a new owner who has purchased the property from the landlord, to occupy it themselves or for an immediate family member. In both cases, proper notice must be given and certain conditions must be met for the termination of tenancy to be valid.
An N12 notice must be given at least 60 days before the proposed termination date. This requirement is set to allow tenants enough time to make alternate living arrangements and prepare for the termination of their tenancy. Landlords are required to adhere to this timeline. If a landlord violates this requirement, the notice may be considered invalid.
