3x invalid N5, and a random N12 shows up

I apologize in advance if this seems like a stupid post.

I am trying to keep it to TL;DR length but am open to answering questions for clarification.

2 year tenancy. 4mo in, discovered Landlord charging utilities illegally, that much is cut and dry and is already a pending case with LTB. We have paid lawful rent on time and have even paid the LL $50.00mo "good faith" money per month while we wait for ruling on the utility situation. (This has already been clearly outline and respectfully we are comfortable with and not seeking advice about that part of the situation -- only including for background)

In these 16 months we have been served 3 separate n5 notices, starting only after we began asking questions about the utility bills (and after the landlord was served with t2 requesting transparency/receipts). These N5s have been incomplete and improperly filled out(wrong dates, no check boxes filled out). Yes I am serious.

After 3 N5s (with no filing) I have just received an N12. I really don't know how to respond to this diplomatically. Do I respond at all?

*edited this sentence for clarity

When someone posts a one sided account of a situation in a general forum: they are only seeking validation of their own viewpoint.

​

I genuinely do not understand why anyone would feel the need to post their situation publicly and ask for general advice about their specific situation in this time period.

​

I can understand seeking support through these types of posts in the earlier days of the internet. It is now 2026. I guarantee you can Google/preferred search engine your specific relationship issue and find a multitude of posts over a multitude of platforms offering advice. If you want to actively contribute, the internet has never been more full of support groups or forums for specific types of issues. If you are uncomfortable speaking to your partner about your issues, you should seek specific supports instead of prompting a general forum to agree with you.
