N12 Notice Windsor — Personal Use Eviction
If you need your Windsor rental unit back for personal use or for a close family member, the N12 Notice is the route. It’s one of the most contested notices at the LTB — bad faith findings carry real penalties. Getting it right from day one matters.
The N12 rules are changing. As of September 21, 2026, landlords who give 120 days’ notice will no longer be required to pay one month’s compensation to the tenant. Stonegate will guide you through the transition.
What Is an N12 Notice?
The N12 is served when a landlord genuinely needs the unit for personal or family use. It requires at least 60 days notice and the termination date must fall on the last day of the rental period. See our full N12 Notice Ontario page for details.
