In addition to the sections that must be closed with the corresponding rental conditions, the standard tenancy contains an appendix containing general information (the “general information appendix”) for landlords and tenants on unenforceable rights, responsibilities and rental conditions. Among the items summarized in the “General Information” appendix are materials relating to illegal taxes, pets, smoking and lease-leaving rules and forced evictions. These sections contain basic information that is included in each lease agreement, including: Standard tenancy applies to most residential rents in Ontario, including condominium leases, single-family buildings and residential units in apartment buildings. Standard tenancy does not apply to commercial real estate, residential and rental units that involve university residences, retirement homes, leases and other types of RTA-exempt property. However, the Ontario government has announced that it is also working on the leasing of standard forms for some of the above exempt rental categories. There is no publication date for these additional standard rental forms. When both parties sign the rental agreement, it is retained for the personal registration of each party for the duration of the rent. In Ontario, when a lease expires and there is no new lease, the lease automatically becomes a monthly lease. In addition, tenants cannot apply for a standard rent if they sign a fixed-term lease before April 30, 2018 and are automatically renewed to a monthly lease after April 30, 2018. Tenants and all occupants of the premises, including but not limited, are not allowed to sell, distribute, plant or harvest cannabis or cannabis plants without the meaning of the Cannabis Act, SC 2018, c16 and the Cannabis Act, SO 2017, c26, in the modified version from time to time, anywhere in or in premises rented by the tenant. , the building in which the tenant`s premises are located, or in one of the common areas or adjacent lands of that building, is considered a serious violation of this provision as a substantial breach of the tenancy agreement and as a reason for termination. If you sign a lease agreement on or after April 30, 2018, it must be a typical lease. From April 30, 2018, owners of most private units – from individual owner to property management – will have to use the standard rental model for all new rentals.
