General information, not legal advice. This guide explains how Ontario residential-tenancy law generally works. It is not legal advice and may not fit your exact situation — the rules and timelines change. For a binding answer, confirm on the LTB website or talk to our licensed paralegals.
When to use it
An N13 is used to end a tenancy for demolition, conversion to non-residential use, or extensive repairs/renovations that require the unit to be empty (and a building permit). It needs 120 days' notice and compensation, and tenants often have a right of first refusal to return. Requirements are strict — review the LTB rules carefully.
