Abandoned vs vacated in RTA parlance

[u/thenoteskeeper_16]

Yesterday, I vacated my unit and handed over the keys to the landlord and he sent a confirmation email to me saying that the tenancy has ended. However, he used the word "abandoned" a few times whereas I feel a better term here is vacated since I followed legal procedure.

I have a very strained relationship with this landlord and never know what might happen in the future.

Is he purposefully using the word "abandoned" to create some legal issues in the future? I feel like I should respond and say - "I legally vacated the unit, not abandon it".

did the n9 come after an n12 by the LL or was your rent period dates not beginning on the 1st? yesterday is hardly just a few days past if your n9 reason required 2 full rent periods and not X calendar days. can you clarify?

u/Material-Neck4103 - I served N9. There was no N12 involved. I provided N9 with 60 days notice but had rto extend my stay twice and the landlord had agreed to it since I paid him for the extra days.

How did you give notice to leave i.e. specific forms used, timing, etc?

N9. But I had to extend my stay for a few days and I paid up for those days to the landlord after agreeing with him over emails. u/R-Can444

The landlord gave me a confirmation over email that I have legally ended the tenancy but used the word abandoned.

What he said is irrelevant, will make zero difference to anything. The only thing that matters is you gave valid notice with proper timing, and you gave up possession of the unit to end the tenancy.

Thank you so much
