Go back

Leaving your residence

Can my landlord make me move out for repairs or renovations?

  • If your landlord says you must move out for major work that cannot be done while you are living there, they must provide you with 120 days’ notice on a Form N13 from the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).
  • You may challenge the notice if you believe it to be untrue, move out with 10 days’ notice, protect your right to move back once the work has been completed, have your landlord offer compensation and/or seek legal counsel.
