High-Level Takeaways
The form numbers tell you nothing about what they actually do
N-forms are notices given to a tenant. L-forms are applications filed with the Board.
Non-payment, conduct, damage and landlord's own use each follow different forms and different timelines.
Using the wrong form, or an outdated version of the right one, can end an application before it is heard.
The application must line up with the notice that came before it.
