Under Section 48.1 of the RTA, the landlord must pay the tenant an amount equal to one month’s rent on or before the termination date specified in the N12 notice. If this payment is missed by even 24 hours, the LTB member has no statutory discretion and must dismiss the L2 eviction application.
The person moving in must occupy the rental unit for at least one full year. Listing the property for rent or sale within 12 months creates a statutory presumption of bad faith under Section 57, exposing the landlord to orders paying the tenant up to 12 months rent difference plus moving costs and administrative fines up to $50,000.
