    The N12 120-Day Path: How Landlords Can Skip the Compensation (and the Trap to Avoid)

    Bill 60 gives Ontario landlords a new choice on own-use evictions: serve the N12 the fast way and pay a month's compensation, or give at least 120 days' notice and pay nothing. On a $3,000 unit, that timing choice is worth $3,000. This guide breaks down exactly how the new 120-day path works under RTA s.48.1(2), when i
