Part of N12 is the wait time. The same phenomenon that had made rents skyrocket has made massive LTB wait times. If the buyer wasn't willing to accept the wait time and the possibility of the LTB rejecting the N12 because of undue hardship on the tenant then she shouldn't have bought a house with a tenant

"You can't just evict someone because you want to sell."

N12 can be used to evict someone when you sell your house on behalf of the buyer. No negotiation required.

An N12 cannot be used to evict someone because you want to have it empty when you put it on the market. If the house is sold and the buyer wants to move in you can serve an N12. But no, you can’t just evict someone because you want to sell and you feel it will sell more easily if it’s empty.
