Before serving an Ontario N12, check that the official Form N12 reason fits, the person who needs the unit is correctly identified, the termination date is calculated with the N12 date checker, compensation or the future 120-day exception has been reviewed, and service/evidence records are ready. This checklist is a preparation aid only; the official LTB form and current instructions control.
