LTB L2: Application to End a Tenancy and Evict a Tenant

What the L2 is

The L2 is the general eviction application for grounds other than simple non-payment. It follows notices like the N5 (interference/damage), N7 (serious problems), N8 (end of term), N12 (landlord’s own use) and N13 (demolition/renovation). Some grounds have filing deadlines — for example, an application based on an N5 or N7 must be filed within 30 days of the termination date in the notice (N12/N13-based applications are exempt from that 30-day rule).

At the hearing the landlord must prove the facts in the underlying notice with real evidence — witnesses, photos, ledgers, police reports, sworn declarations for an N12. The Board can also consider whether eviction should be delayed or refused under its relief-from-eviction powers.

How to fill it out

1. Identify the notice(s) the application is based on and attach each notice with its Certificate of Service.
2. File in time — diarize the 30-day window for N5/N7/N8-based applications.
3. Set out the details: the L2 asks what happened and what order you want; keep it consistent with the notice. New incidents since the notice can be included where the form allows.
4. For N12 applications, include the required declaration/affidavit from the person moving in, and proof the one-month compensation was paid.
5. Pay the fee, serve what the LTB directs, and prepare evidence — L2 hearings are contested more often than L1s, and details win them.
