N12 and "landlord's own use" — what each side has to prove
An N12 is used when the landlord, a purchaser, or a close family member of either genuinely intends to move into the unit.
An N12 is used when the landlord, a purchaser, or a close family member of either genuinely intends to move into the unit. The notice must give at least 60 days and must end on the last day of a rental period.
The landlord also has to compensate the tenant one month's rent, or offer another acceptable unit, before the termination date. The person named must actually occupy the unit, and the requirement is that they intend to live there for at least twelve months. Bad-faith N12s carry real consequences at the Board.
Tenants: receiving an N12 does not mean you have to leave. You are entitled to a hearing. Only an order of the Board — enforced, if it comes to that, by the Sheriff — can require you to move.

The N4 notice: what it actually means, and the deadline that matters
An N4 is the notice a landlord serves when rent is late. It is not an eviction, and it is not an order — it is the first step, and on its own it forces nobody out of anything.
What actually happens at an LTB hearing
Most hearings are now held by video. You'll be scheduled into a block with other matters, so expect to wait — being in the queue for a while is normal, and leaving the call is not.
