You moved out on an N12/N13 but the landlord did not genuinely use the unit as stated. File a T5.
Reviewed by a licensed paralegal. General information — not legal advice.
Gather proof the unit was not used as the notice claimed (e.g. a new listing, a new tenant, or that it sat empty/relisted shortly after).
File a T5 with the LTB and pay the filing fee (fee waiver available if eligible).
At the hearing, show the notice you were given and the evidence of bad faith.
The LTB can order the landlord to pay a rent differential, moving/storage costs, a general abatement, and even a fine.
