Direct answer
Use these Ontario helpers as preparation sheets only. A valid notice or application still requires the current official LTB form, correct service, and fact-specific review.

Open toolComparing Form N11 (Agreement to End Tenancy) vs Form N12 (Landlord or Purchaser Own Use Notice) under the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA):
| Feature | Form N11 (Mutual Agreement) | Form N12 (Own-Use Notice) |
|---|---|---|
| Agreement Type | Mutual agreement signed by both landlord & tenant | Unilateral notice served by landlord for own-use |
| Notice Period | Any mutually agreed date (no 60-day minimum) | Min. 60 days (end of rental period or term) |
| Statutory Compensation | No statutory 1-month rent required (unless agreed) | 1 month's rent (or acceptable alternate unit) |
| LTB Eviction Application | Form L3 (Ex parte - no hearing required) | Form L2 (Hearing required if tenant stays) |
Compare LTB form rules, evidence requirements, and legal filing deadlines.
UseCOS does not determine whether a notice is valid, whether a unit is rent-controlled, whether a party has met a service rule, or whether an LTB application will succeed. Confirm the current official form and consider legal advice from a lawyer or licensed paralegal.
