L2: L2: Application to End a Tenancy and Evict a Tenant or Collect Money

Who this form involves

Landlords file this application; tenants respond to it.

This is an application a landlord files. This page explains it from the tenant's perspective — what to expect and how to respond.

When it may apply

You received a termination notice (such as an N5, N12, or N13) and the landlord has now applied to the LTB.
You received a notice of hearing that refers to ending your tenancy for a reason other than non-payment.

Cautions and limits

The landlord must prove the grounds in the notice. You have the right to attend, question the landlord's evidence, and present your own.
For N12 and N13 cases, the LTB can consider whether the stated intention is genuine and whether all requirements were met.
Do not move out based only on an application — the LTB decides, and only the sheriff can enforce an eviction order.
Time limits may apply to this form; confirm current rules with the LTB or a legal professional before you rely on any date.

What this process can lead to

The LTB may dismiss the application, order the tenancy to end, delay an eviction, or set conditions, depending on the evidence. Relief from eviction based on your circumstances can be considered — a legal professional can explain how.

Outcomes are never guaranteed — the LTB decides each case on its evidence.

How to prepare

Match the application against the original notice — the details should line up.
Gather evidence that responds to each allegation or requirement.
Contact a legal clinic or duty counsel before the hearing.
Use the hearing preparation tool to organize issues, witnesses, and documents.
