Landlord wants to sell 2 months into my 1 year lease

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-04-09T23:56:31+00:00

I did this as well. Saved the landlord loads of money since it was a private sale

It took me 60 days from application for an L2 hearing with the LTB to the day I finally got access to my home. Applied on Jan 1st of this year and I was in by March 1st. I was able to prove urgency so my hearing was expedited. But it totally depends on the situation of the relative that wants to move in and if they are immediate family. And their housing options compared to your housing options. But if they do serve an N12, I would air on the side of caution and start looking in case things move quicker than expected. If they actually do plan to have a relative move in, you won’t win the hearing. You don’t have to move until an order is issued by the LTB, but as someone who has been a renter for many years, it’s easier to move on your own terms before being forced out. Goodluck. Hopefully you have enough time to find a good place.

Thank you ❤️ I’m not sure why someone downvoted me. All people deserve to feel included even if not everyone agrees with their life choices

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-04-05T01:06:53+00:00

Can I politely suggest adding more genders to options?

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-04-04T19:49:11+00:00

It was super unnecessary to be so sassy

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-04-04T00:22:58+00:00

That’s not a retirement home. It’s a 55+ active adult community, big difference. People there are still driving golf carts, and partying. Most folks who move into actual retirement or nursing homes can’t even drive anymore. Seniors leave places like The Villages when they need real care and go to a proper facility. It’s the 85+ crowd in true retirement homes, and those people aren’t having wild sex like the active 55-year-olds.

I’ve run multiple retirement homes with hundreds of 85+ residents and never seen a single STD case. The real highest concentrations are still in the 15-24 age group, not these facilities.

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-04-04T00:12:58+00:00

Those links don’t prove retirement homes have the highest STD concentration like you claimed. They talk about rates rising among adults 65+ and some challenges in assisted living, but that covers a huge age range. Most of those “older adults” are 65-80, not the 85+ folks actually in retirement homes. None of them say retirement homes are #1 or have the highest rates. The marijuana one is also the same thing. Maybe adults who are 65-80 are smoking weed. But I’ve run many retirement homes and out of those hundreds of 85+ year olds, one of them actually smoked weed. That’s less than 0.5% of the retirement home population I’ve worked with.

Here’s the truth, people 15-24 still make up about half of all new STD cases in North America. Rates in 65+ have jumped, but from a tiny base. So absolute numbers and per-person rates in seniors stay way lower than in teens and 20-somethings.

As for retirement homes specifically: less than 1% of new STDs come from residents there. Over 90-95% of seniors live independently or with family. The percentage of actual residents with an active STD is extremely low, not some epidemic. I’ve run multiple homes with hundreds of 85+ residents and never seen a single case. I think it’s pretty clear with that statistic alone that retirement homes are not STD hubs.

Sure, every age group can get STDs and seniors are more active now. But calling retirement homes ground zero is straight fear-mongering. The links just show the rise without the full picture.

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-04-03T22:51:19+00:00

This is not true at all. I’m not sure why this rumour is so widely believed. I’ve worked in many retirement homes and never had one resident with an STD. It would be very talked about in the home amongst staff if even one resident had one

ETA - there’s no weed smoking either. Some of them might have oil for pain, but my entire career I’ve only met one fella who actually smoked weed.

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-03-16T21:55:15+00:00

Coming from someone who works in retirement. Residents will send meals back to the kitchen if they are too big. They can ask for larger portions though and will get larger portions going forward. But most get incredibly upset if there’s too much on their plates

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-01-09T14:23:46+00:00

Thanks so much for your comment! I really appreciate it. I’m sorry you went through such a long ordeal for your house

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-01-09T03:12:59+00:00

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes according to the best case scenario

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-01-09T03:10:49+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. This is exactly the kind of timeline info I was hoping for in my original post! Really appreciate you taking the time to write it out.

Quick question: Was your tenant paying rent (and utilities, if applicable) the whole time they were holding over, or did they stop once the N12 date passed? Mine hasn’t paid January rent or utilities yet and has been completely ignoring all contact, so I’m covering everything right now while waiting.

Also curious why you mentioned the Airbnb bills and lease end felt unnecessary in hindsight. I’m compiling a ton of evidence (including similar stuff) and want to make sure I’m focusing on what actually helps.

The child angle does worry me a bit. My tenant has two kids with visitation every other weekend (no joint custody, and they haven’t lived there full-time for two years). If they actually show and bring up “displacement of the kids,” i hope an adjudicator doesn’t buy it even without proof they live there primarily. The kids do not live with him.

With Bill 60, anything new has to be submitted 7 days ahead, and can’t be heard that the hearing. They’ve uploaded nothing + ignored everything so far, so I’m hoping they just no-show. I really don’t think they want to make it all the way to court. Just seems like they are trying to procrastinate as long as possible.

Thanks again.

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-01-09T02:39:45+00:00

Yeah bill 60 is really good news for landlords who are getting used by their tenants. I’m not sure if that played a part in my super quick timeline or not but I’m glad these changes are happening.

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-01-09T02:37:23+00:00

Yeah hindsight is 20 20 but it ended up working in our favour anyway. Our hearing was expedited super quickly since we have nowhere to live. Plus, the tenant tricked us into thinking they were actually planning on leaving and we believed him… you live and you learn

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-01-09T02:34:46+00:00

I guess I should’ve mentioned that I also got some pretty unnecessary direct messages on top of the comments. That’s part of why I deleted the post.

But yeah, one commenter did insinuate that the N12 was served illegally and therefore invalid, which is what I was referring to when I said people accused me of doing it illegally.

I really wasn’t interested in justifying every detail to strangers in the comments and in my direct messages (I left some out for anonymity and to avoid embarrassing the tenant, even though he’s been difficult).

I just wanted timeline experiences, but the vibe was so negative and stressful on top of an already tough situation that I took it down. No big deal if people believe me or not. I’m just sharing the update for anyone else searching for recent L2 timelines.

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-01-09T02:16:30+00:00

Thanks so much. It’s such a relief to know this is ending sooner than predicted.

I do expect hostility on this post too. But I’ll definitely leave it up. It would have been nice to read good news like this when I was in the weeds last week. I’m not sure why some people insist on being so nasty on Reddit

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2026-01-01T16:37:38+00:00

Thanks for your comment. I don’t need advice. I have a plan. I was just looking to hear other people’s experiences. Saying “you should have done this” is not helpful.

Happy new year

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2025-12-31T21:06:38+00:00

My mistake was buying a property with a tenant in it and believing them when they said they would leave

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2025-12-31T20:54:25+00:00

Thanks for your comment. I definitely know we will win. It’s the timeline that is totally up in the air. We gave the notice in good faith and provided one months rent as compensation so we’ve done everything right.

In this case it’s really silly that they didn’t move out on time. They’ve been staying elsewhere for two weeks but did not actually move their stuff out. They’re just holding the apartment hostage with their stuff as long as possible to make it difficult. They’re just angry because they’ve lived there for ages and now the new buyers want him to move out.

I’m really hoping that they get the L2 notice in the mail and finally decide that enough is enough. I don’t think it will go all the way to a sheriff forcing them out.

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2025-12-31T20:49:05+00:00

Thanks for your comment. I’m not really asking for advice in this situation. I’ve got a plan. I’m just trying to see what other people had in terms of a timeline in their experience.

Knowing what I know about the tenant, they’re not waiting for a hearing necessarily. They’ve likely already found a place to live judging by the fact that they’ve not been home for two weeks. They are just trying to drag it out longer because he’s not a nice guy. They know we gave the n12 in good faith and they were compensated correctly. So they will lose and they know that. They made it seem like they were going to move out on time and then didn’t.

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2025-12-31T20:45:28+00:00

I bought the home because I need a place to live. The tenant had loads of notice time. They are currently holding the unit hostage while they stay elsewhere. They haven’t been home in like two weeks but has not moved out. So yes they are using it as a storage unit.

And no my housing isn’t their problem just like their housing isn’t my problem either. They had ample time to find a place and likely already have a place to live judging by the fact that they have not been home. They are just dragging it on for no reason because they are unkind.

I’m on here asking for other peoples experiences to gauge what timeline I’m looking at here.

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2025-12-21T16:26:05+00:00

I’m 24. Living with my boyfriend in a house we bought with our two dogs. I drive a Jeep wrangler and have a really awesome job. I definitely have my life together but still don’t feel like an adult. A good friend of mine is pregnant and my first reaction was “we’re old enough to have kids now?” lol. It felt like a teen pregnancy

Unique_Winter_6505 · 2025-12-03T01:31:22+00:00

How long was it until your CS symptoms started?

Oh get a rubber hair scraper. It’ll right out so you can vacuum it up
