Direct answer

Ontario Form N12 generally requires at least 60 days' notice, a termination date on the last day of the rental period or fixed term, and one month's rent compensation or an accepted alternate unit. Starting September 21, 2026, the landlord-own-use compensation requirement does not apply only where the statutory 120-day criteria are met.

Official form boundary. This helper creates a preparation summary only. It does not replace a current LTB notice, application, service rule, hearing direction, order, lawyer, or licensed paralegal.

N12 planning result

Enter the effective notice-given date to calculate the 60-day and 120-day timing paths.

Methodology and assumptions

The 60-day path adds 60 calendar days to the effective notice-given date and then aligns the result to the selected rental-period end or fixed-term date.
The 120-day path is shown as a future-rule comparison and is available only for landlord own-use notices given on or after September 21, 2026.
The L2 latest filing date is estimated by adding 30 calendar days to the displayed N12 termination date.
The tenant early-termination option adds 10 calendar days to the tenant's entered earlier N9 notice date.

Important limitations

Does not decide whether N12 is available, whether the stated person genuinely intends to occupy the unit, or whether the notice was served in good faith.
Does not determine lawful service, deemed receipt, notice defects, purchaser eligibility, care-service eligibility, or whether a corporation may give the notice.
Does not replace current N12, L2, Schedule B, declaration, affidavit, certificate of service, or hearing evidence requirements.
Does not predict whether the LTB will terminate the tenancy or whether a T5 bad-faith claim could later succeed.
