Summary
In Ontario, tenants cannot be evicted solely based on an N12 hearing without an L1 hearing. The N12 notice is for landlords personal use or family use, requiring a 60-day notice and an LTB application for eviction. An L1 hearing is necessary for rent-related issues. If the landlord wins the N12 hearing, the LTB may issue an eviction order with a specific vacate date. Tenants should present evidence, question the landlords intentions, and highlight procedural errors at the N12 hearing.Full Conversation
in ontario as a tenant, I have an n12 hearing tomorrow and an l1 hearing next month. Can i be evicted before the l1 hearing?
No, you cannot be evicted before the L1 hearing. In Ontario, eviction can only take place after the Landlord and Tenant Board issues an eviction order, and the landlord must follow the proper legal process.
