Perjury Consequences In Ontario
Summary
Lying under oath in Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board hearings is considered perjury, which can lead to criminal charges and up to 14 years in prison. To pursue charges, report the incident to the police with evidence, file a complaint with the Landlord and Tenant Board, and consult a lawyer. Complaints against a paralegal can be filed with the Law Society of Ontario, potentially resulting in disciplinary actions. For tenant harassment issues, file a T2 complaint for rent abatement, which can range from 10% to 50% depending on the severity. An N12 notice requires genuine intent to move in; challenge it with a T5 form if intent is questionable.Full Conversation

the landlord filed an n12 to move in to my apartment. are they able to use a note from their doctor saying that due to stress they need to move into the unit? should a doctor be involved?
In Ontario, an N12 notice is used when a landlord, their family member, or a caregiver intends to move into the rental unit. A note from a doctor could potentially support the landlord's claim, but it is not a requirement. The landlord needs to genuinely intend to move into the unit and must follow proper procedures.
Is there any specific part of the N12 process you need further details on?
Is there any specific part of the N12 process you need further details on?
