This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tenants served with N12s face the prospect of eviction through no fault of their own, which can be a stressful experience, says jes sachse, who spells their name using lowercase letters.
Tenant advocates say N12s are a major issue in Toronto, because landlords could use them to drive up the price of their unit and renters have limited options to push back.
With an N12, all a landlord needs to prove is that they, a family member, or caregiver, intends to move in, said Samuel Mason, a lawyer at Parkdale Community Legal Services, who is also representing sachse at the LTB.
That idea doesn't sit right with Tony Irwin, president of the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario.
Maximum fines are rarely given out by the LTB, Mason said, adding that whenever the law does come into force it won't make much of a difference.
"That doesn't address the issue of landlords misusing this type of eviction proceeding because the legal test is so permissive in the first place," he said.
