A notice ending your tenancy for major renovations, demolition, or conversion (a 'renoviction').

An N13 requires 120 days' notice and compensation, and for major repairs you usually have a right of first refusal to move back at a similar rent. Renovictions are often challenged when the work doesn't truly require the unit to be empty.
