An N11 is an agreement, not a notice, and no tenant has to sign one. There is no statutory compensation, no cooling-off period and no disclosure duty.

Selling does not end a tenancy in Ontario. What you must allow during showings, when a purchaser can actually serve an N12, and the compensation owed.
