Version: December 1, 2023 About this guide | RECO INFORMATION GUIDE 1

Working with a real estate agent

Agents in Ontario must be registered, which requires completing the necessary education,
and carrying consumer deposit insurance and professional liability insurance.
Real estate agents provide valuable information, advice, and guidance to buyers and sellers
as they navigate the complexities of real estate transactions.

Version: December 1, 2023 Working with a real estate agent | RECO INFORMATION GUIDE 2
You will also benefit from the duties the brokerage and
agent owe to you as a client
• Undivided loyalty
Your best interests are promoted and protected by the brokerage or agent representing you.
As a client, your interests take priority over the interests of the brokerage, its agents, and any
other party.
• Disclosure
They must tell you everything they know about the transaction or your client relationship that
could have an impact on any decisions you make.
• Confidentiality
Your confidential information cannot be shared with anyone outside of the brokerage without
your written consent, except where required by law, even after your client relationship ends.
This includes, for example, your motivation for buying or selling, and the amount you would
be willing to pay or accept.
• Avoid conflicts of interest

They must avoid any situation that would affect their duty to act in your best interests. If a
conflict arises, they must disclose it to you and cannot provide any additional services to you
unless you agree in writing to continue receiving services.
You have responsibilities as a client

You need to:
• be clear about what you want and don’t want and make sure you share all information that
might be relevant (for example, you might want zoning that permits your intended use, maybe
a home office or another specific use, or you might not want a property where there has been a
violent crime);
• respond to your agent’s questions quickly;
• understand the terms of your agreement with the brokerage; and,
• pay the fees you have agreed on (see page 7), even if an agreement to buy or sell later falls
through because of your default or neglect.
Version: December 1, 2023 Working with a real estate agent | RECO INFORMATION GUIDE 3
Know the risks of

representing yourself
If you are involved in a real estate transaction and are not a client of a real estate brokerage, you
are considered a self-represented party. This means that you have chosen to represent yourself,
which has different rights and responsibilities. Very few buyers or sellers make this choice.
There are significant risks to representing yourself in a real estate transaction if you do not have
the knowledge and expertise required to navigate the transaction on your own. You will be dealing
with a seller or buyer who is benefitting from the services, opinions, and advice of an experienced
real estate agent.
RECO recommends that you seek independent professional advice before you proceed as a
self-represented party.
If you choose not to work with a real estate agent, it will be your responsibility to look after your
own best interests and protect yourself. This may include things like:
• making inquiries about zoning, permitted property use, or any other aspect of the property;
• determining what you believe to be the value of the property you are buying or selling;
• determining how much you are willing to offer or accept;
• navigating competing offer situations;
• deciding what terms you want to include in an offer or agreement of purchase and sale; and,
• preparing all documents.
The real estate agent is working for another party

in the transaction
It’s important to be aware that the agent has a legal obligation to act in the best interests of the
person on the other side of the transaction. If you are a buyer or even just inquiring about the
property, for example, and the agent is working for the seller — the agent has a duty to do what’s
best for their seller client.
Be aware that the agent is obligated to share anything you tell them with their client, which might
not be in your best interests to tell them, including:
• your motivation for buying or selling the property;

• the minimum or maximum price you are willing to offer or accept; and,
• your preferred terms or conditions for an agreement of purchase and sale.
Version: December 1, 2023 Know the risks of representing yourself | RECO INFORMATION GUIDE 4
The agent cannot: Any assistance the agent offers you:

• provide you with any services, opinions, or • is a service to their client, not you;
advice; • is in the best interests of their client, not you;
• do anything that would encourage you to rely and,
on their knowledge, skill, or judgement; or, • is to help their client sell or buy a property.
• encourage you to represent yourself or
discourage you from working with another
real estate agent or brokerage.
The agent must give you RECO’s Information and Disclosure to Self-represented Party form and
walk you through it before they can provide you any assistance. You will be asked to confirm you
received it and understand what it means to be a self-represented party.
You have the right to change your mind

If you’re concerned about completing a transaction on your own, or you need advice from a real
estate agent, you can choose to become a client of a real estate brokerage at any point during the
transaction (see Signing a contract with a real estate brokerage on page 6).
Version: December 1, 2023 Know the risks of representing yourself | RECO INFORMATION GUIDE 5
Signing a contract with

a real estate brokerage
When you become a client, you sign a

representation agreement with the brokerage There are two kinds of representation
— a contract between you and the brokerage agreements in Ontario:

in Ontario on December 1, 2023. Ask the real
Here are some key things to look for. estate agent what type of representation the
brokerage offers.
Name of your designated
representative
If the contract is a designated representation agreement, the name of your designated representative
will be included. More than one real estate agent working at the brokerage can be identified as your
designated representative.
Scope
Your agreement should specify the scope of the engagement. If you are a seller, this means the
agreement will identify the specific property.
Version: December 1, 2023 Signing a contract with a real estate brokerage | RECO INFORMATION GUIDE 6
If you are a buyer, you should consider the scope of the agreement carefully. Your agreement
might identify a specific property, a geographic area you are searching in, a type of property you
are looking for, or other specific requirements. For example, if you are looking for both a house in
a particular city, and a cottage property near a lake, and want to work with different real estate
agents with local and property type expertise for each property, the scope should be clear in each
of the agreements to avoid disputes about who you might have to pay if you buy a property.
Services
The agreement must clearly set out the services you will receive. There is no standard set of
services — brokerages offer a variety of service options. You choose the services you want that
best meet your needs.
You might enter into an agreement with a brokerage for a specific purpose like, for example,
having an agent prepare an offer on a property you want to buy, or viewing a specific property.
Some sellers enter into an agreement solely for the purpose of having their property advertised
on a local listing service.
Ask the real estate agent about the available services or combination of services that may be right
for you and your situation. If there are specific services you need or expect to receive, make sure
they are included in the agreement or as a schedule to the agreement. Don’t assume a particular
service will be provided if it’s not included in the agreement.
Payment amount and terms

You and the brokerage decide the amount you will pay for services. The amount is not fixed or
approved by RECO, any government authority, or any real estate association or real estate board.
You can agree to pay a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of the sale price, or a combination of
both. The representation agreement cannot specify an amount based on the difference between
a property’s listing price and what it sells for.
Agreements must also identify circumstances in which the amounts agreed to might change and
how they will change in each circumstance.
If you are a seller: If you are a buyer:

Your agreement needs to clearly indicate: Your agreement needs to clearly indicate:
• the amount you agree to pay your brokerage • the amount you agree to pay your brokerage

representation (see page 9). representation (see page 9).
Important note for buyers: A seller might not offer any amount to cover the fees you owe to your
brokerage under your agreement. This could affect the amount you are able to offer for a property.
Depending on your financial circumstances, you may not be able to afford to buy a property when
the seller does not agree to pay your brokerage fees.
Termination provisions
The agreement should list all circumstances when the agreement can be terminated. Review when
the brokerage can terminate the agreement, and make sure you are aware of any penalties or costs
that might apply in each case.
Two important circumstances to be aware of:
• Multiple representation: You do not have to agree to multiple representation, and your
agreement should be clear about what happens in that situation. For example, the agreement
could terminate completely, or you might be referred to another brokerage or designated
representative for the specific transaction but otherwise remain under the agreement with
the brokerage.
• Changing your designated representative: If you have entered a designated representation
agreement, the brokerage cannot appoint a different designated representative unless you
agree. The brokerage may ask to appoint someone else if, for example, your designated
representative stops working with the brokerage, or is otherwise not available to provide
the services and representation outlined in the agreement.
Expiry date
The agreement’s expiry date must appear prominently on the first page. There is no set time or
standard term for a representation agreement: it can be in place for a day, a few weeks, or months.
Consider how long you want the agreement to remain in place, and make sure you know when your
agreement will expire. Keep in mind that a holdover clause could mean you owe money even after
the expiry of the agreement.
Holdover clause
Most representation agreements include what is often called a holdover clause. The clause may
require you to pay the brokerage fees for a purchase or sale even when the transaction happens
after your representation agreement expires. The clause will specify the time the holdover clause
is in effect from the date the agreement expires.
A holdover clause is designed to protect the brokerage, and there is no minimum or set time for a
holdover period. If your agreement includes a holdover clause, make sure you agree to the length
of the holdover period before you sign it.
For example, let’s say you are a seller, and your agreement includes a 30-day holdover clause.
This means that even if your agreement has expired, under certain conditions, you might be obligated
to pay the brokerage commission if you sell your home during the 30-day holdover period.
Similarly, assume you enter into a buyer agreement that includes a 30-day holdover clause and
the agent shows you a home before the expiry of the contract. If you buy the home after the
expiry of the agreement, but during the holdover period, you might be obligated to pay the
brokerage commission.
Understanding
multiple representation
Multiple representation means a designated representative or brokerage represents more than one
client, with competing interests, in the same transaction. This can happen in different ways, depending
on the type of representation agreement you and the other clients have with the brokerage:
Brokerage representation: Designated representation:

Multiple representation exists when the Multiple representation exists when the same
brokerage represents both the buyer and real estate agent is the designated representative
seller in the same transaction, or two or more for both the buyer and the seller in the same
competing buyers interested in the same transaction, or for two or more competing buyers
property — even when the clients are working interested in the same property.
with different real estate agents.
Multiple representation is not permitted unless each of the clients involved agrees. You should seek
independent professional advice (for example, from your real estate lawyer) before proceeding.
The brokerage or your designated representative has a duty to promote and protect your best
interests and avoid conflicts of interest. If your brokerage or designated representative enters
into an agreement with another client who has an interest in the same property as you, this places
both clients in multiple representation. Multiple representation introduces risks you and the other
client should consider.
It’s important to understand the risks. If you agree to multiple representation, the brokerage
or designated representative:
• Must treat each of the clients involved in an objective and impartial manner;
• Cannot maintain undivided loyalty to you or promote and protect your interests over the
interests of the other client; and,
• Cannot offer advice to you about such things as the price you should offer or accept or terms
that should be included in an agreement of purchase and sale.
What to expect before you agree to multiple representation

The brokerage is required to provide you with a written disclosure that explains:
• how the brokerage’s duties or the designated representative’s duties to you will change;
• the differences in the services you will receive; and,
• any change to how much you pay the brokerage.
Until this information is disclosed in writing to all clients in the transaction, and they all agree in
writing, the brokerage or designated representative cannot take any further steps on behalf
of any of the clients.
Version: December 1, 2023 Understanding multiple representation | RECO INFORMATION GUIDE 9

Confidential information you provided to the brokerage or the designated representative when
you were represented cannot be shared without your written consent.
You can refuse multiple representation

If you don’t agree, the brokerage or your designated representative is not allowed to proceed.
Ask the brokerage or real estate agent about alternatives to multiple representation. For example,
if you are a buyer, the brokerage could refer you to another brokerage or another designated
representative to help you make an offer on the property.
Agreeing to multiple representation significantly reduces what the brokerage and its agents can
do for you, which could have consequences and costs.
A note about content of other offers

You may have seen articles in the media about open bidding, or an open offer process.
Buyers in Ontario who have made an offer on a property are entitled to know the number of
competing offers. Sellers choose how much other information, if any, they want to share about
the offers they receive.

How to make a complaint

Brokerage firms and real estate agents working in Ontario must be registered with RECO.
Ontario brokerages and real estate agents are accountable for their conduct. If you have a concern:
First, contact your brokerage

In many cases, your brokerage will be able to mediate or resolve your complaint about a real estate
agent or the services provided under your representation agreement. Search for the brokerage in
RECO’s Public Register to find the name of the broker of record (the person responsible for ensuring
the brokerage complies with the law) and their contact information. Note that the brokerage cannot
ask you to sign an agreement that requires you to withdraw a complaint to RECO or prevents you
from making one.
Contact RECO
To file a complaint with RECO about a brokerage or real estate agent, visit the complaints section
of the RECO website. The website explains the complaints process, possible outcomes, and how
to file your complaint. RECO will review the issue, determine if it has the authority to deal with it,

The Tenant agrees to pay directly to the Brokerage any deficiency between this amount and the amount, if any, to be paid to the Brokerage by a
listing brokerage or by the landlord. The Tenant understands that if the Brokerage is not to be paid any commission by a listing brokerage or by the
landlord, the Tenant will pay the Brokerage the full amount of commission indicated above.
The Tenant agrees to pay the Brokerage such commission if the Tenant enters into an agreement within ................................ 111 days after the expiration
of this Agreement (Holdover Period) to lease or purchase any real property shown or introduced to the Tenant from any source whatsoever during the
term of this Agreement, provided, however, that if the Tenant enters into a new tenant representation agreement with another registered real estate
brokerage after the expiration of this Agreement, the Tenant’s liability to pay commission to the Brokerage shall be reduced by the amount paid to the
other brokerage under the new agreement.
The Tenant agrees to pay such commission as described above even if a transaction contemplated by an agreement to lease or purchase agreed to
or accepted by the Tenant or anyone on the Tenant’s behalf is not completed, if such non-completion is owing or attributable to the Tenant’s default or
neglect. Said commission, plus any applicable taxes, shall be payable in the case of a lease or tenancy, the earlier of the date of occupancy by the
Tenant or the date set for commencement of the lease or tenancy or in the case of a purchase on the date set for completion of the purchase of the
property. All amounts set out as commission are to be paid plus applicable taxes on such commission.
This Agreement applies for the lease or purchase of one real property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Tenant leases a property,
this agreement remains in force as set out herein for the purchase of the leased property or a property of the general description indicated above. The
leasing of a property by the Tenant does not terminate this Agreement with respect to the purchase of a property.
3. REPRESENTATION: The Tenant acknowledges that the Brokerage has provided the Tenant with written information explaining agency relationships,
including information on Tenant Representation, Sub-Agency, Landlord Representation, Multiple Representation and Self-Represented Party assistance.
The Brokerage shall assist the Tenant in locating a real property of the general description indicated above and shall represent the Tenant in an
endeavour to procure the acceptance of a lease, agreement to lease or purchase such a property.
The Tenant acknowledges that the Tenant may not be shown or offered all properties that may be of interest to the Tenant. The Tenant hereby agrees
that the terms of any any Tenant’s lease, agreement to lease or purchase the property will not be disclosed to any other tenant. The Tenant further
acknowledges that the Brokerage may be entering into tenant representation agreements with other tenants who may be interested in the same or similar
properties that the Tenant may be interested in leasing or buying and the Tenant hereby consents to the Brokerage entering into tenant representation
agreements with other tenants who may be interested in the same or similar properties without any claim by the Tenant of conflict of interest. The Tenant
hereby appoints the Brokerage as agent for the purpose of giving and receiving notices pursuant to any offer or agreement to lease or purchase a
property negotiated by the Brokerage.
MULTIPLE REPRESENTATION: The Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Brokerage may be entering into listing agreements with landlords of
properties the Tenant may be interested in leasing or buying. In the event that the Brokerage has entered into or enters into a listing agreement with
the landlord of a property the Tenant may be interested in leasing or buying, the Brokerage will require the Tenants’s written consent to represent both
the Tenant and the landlord for the transaction.
The Tenant understands and acknowledges that the Brokerage must be impartial when representing both the Tenant and the landlord and equally
protect the interests of the Tenant and the landlord in the transaction. The Tenant understands and acknowledges that when representing both the
Tenant and the landlord, the Brokerage shall have a duty of full disclosure to both the Tenant and the landlord, including a requirement to disclose all
factual information about the property known to the Brokerage.
However, The Tenant further understands and acknowledges that the Brokerage shall not disclose:
• that the landlord may or will accept less than the listed price, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the landlord;
• that the Tenant may or will pay more than the offered price, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Tenant;
• the motivation of or personal information about the Tenant or landlord, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the party to which the information
applies or unless failure to disclose would constitute fraudulent, unlawful or unethical practice;
• the price the Tenant should offer or the price the landlord should accept; and
• the Brokerage shall not disclose to the Tenant the terms of any other offer.
However, it is understood that factual market information about comparable properties and information known to the Brokerage concerning potential
uses for the property will be disclosed to both Tenant and landlord to assist them to come to their own conclusions.
The Brokerage shall not be appointed or authorized to be agent for either the Tenant or the landlord for the purpose of giving and receiving notices
where the Brokerage represents both the Tenant and the landlord (multiple representation) or where the landlord or the tenant is a self-represented party.
MULTIPLE REPRESENTATION AND LIMITED SERVICES REPRESENTATION: The Tenant understands and agrees that the Listing Brokerage may
provide client limited services and representation to other tenants and landlords. The Tenant understands and acknowledges that when representing
both the Tenant and the landlord, where one or both the Tenant and landlord are receiving limited services and representation the Listing Brokerage
shall have a duty of services and representation and disclosure to one or both the Tenant and the landlord, as more particularly set out in the
agreement with the respective Tenant or landlord. If the Listing Brokerage provides client limited services and representation to more than one tenant or
landlord for the same trade, the Listing Brokerage shall, in writing, inform all tenants and landlords of the nature of the Listing Brokerage’s relationship
to each tenant and landlord, and will require consent in writing for such multiple representation.
MULTIPLE REPRESENTATION AND DESIGNATED REPRESENTATION: The Tenant understands and acknowledges where both the Tenant
and landlord are represented by a designated representative of the Listing Brokerage, multiple representation will not result, unless that designated
representative represents more than one client in the same trade, and will require consent in writing for such multiple representation. In the event
of multiple representation and designated representation, the Brokerage duty of disclosure to both the tenant and the landlord client, is as more
particularly set out in the agreement with the respective tenant or landlord.
4. REFERRAL OF PROPERTIES: The Tenant agrees that during the currency of this Tenant Representation Agreement the Tenant will act in good faith
and work exclusively with the Brokerage for the lease or purchase of a real property of the general description indicated above. The Tenant agrees
that, during the currency of this Agreement, the Tenant shall advise the Brokerage immediately of any property of interest to the Tenant that came to
the Tenant’s attention from any source whatsoever, and all leases, agreements to lease or purchase submitted by the Tenant shall be submitted through
the Brokerage to the landlord. If the Tenant arranges a valid agreement to lease or purchase any property of the general description indicated above
that came to the attention of the Tenant during the currency of this Agreement and the Tenant arranges said agreement during the currency of this
Agreement or within the Holdover Period after expiration of this Agreement, the Tenant agrees to pay the Brokerage the amount of commission set out
above in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, payable within (5) days following the Brokerage’s written demand therefor.

A. When to Use This Form

This form (standard form of lease) must be used for most residential tenancy agreements (leases).
This form should not be used for:

• care homes,
• sites in mobile home parks or land lease communities,
• social and supportive housing that is exempt from the rent increase guideline (see the regulation under the Act for
specific exemptions),
• member units in co-operative housing, and
• any other accommodation that is exempt from the Act (see Section 5 of the Act).
B. Change of Landlord
A new landlord has the same rights and duties as the previous landlord. A new landlord must follow all the terms of this
agreement unless the tenant and new landlord agree to other terms. A new landlord should provide the tenant with their legal
name and address.
C. Renewing a Tenancy Agreement (Part V of the Act)

If the landlord and tenant agree that the tenancy will last for a specific period of time, this is called a fixed term tenancy. This is
because both the start and end date are set out in the tenancy agreement.
The end of an agreement does not mean the tenant has to move out or sign a renewal or new agreement in order to stay. The
rules of the agreement will still apply and the tenant still has the right to stay:
• as a monthly tenant, if the agreement was for a fixed term or monthly tenancy,
• as a weekly tenant, if the agreement was for a weekly tenancy, or
• as a daily tenant, if the agreement was for a daily tenancy.
The landlord and tenant can also agree to renew the agreement for another fixed term or enter into a new agreement. In any
case, changes to the rent must follow the rules under the Act (see Part I below for further information).
D. Ending the Tenancy (Part V of the Act)

The landlord or tenant must follow the rules of the Act when ending a tenancy.
When the tenant can end the tenancy

The tenant can end a tenancy by giving the landlord proper notice using the appropriate Landlord and Tenant Board form. They
must give:
• at least 60 days’ notice if they have a monthly or fixed term tenancy, or

• at least 28 days’ notice if they have a daily or weekly tenancy.
2229E (2022/10) Page 8 of 14
For a fixed term tenancy, the notice cannot be effective before the last day of the fixed term. For a monthly or weekly tenancy,
the notice must be effective on the last day of a rental period (e.g. month or week).
In certain situations, a tenant who has experienced sexual or domestic violence can give 28 days’ notice to end the tenancy at
any time, even if the tenant has a fixed term agreement (e.g., one year agreement). They must use the notice form approved by
the Landlord and Tenant Board.
When the landlord can end the tenancy

The landlord can only give the tenant notice to end the tenancy in certain situations. These situations are set out in the Act. The
landlord cannot evict the tenant unless the landlord follows the proper rules. These rules are set out in the Act. In most cases,
the landlord must give proper notice to end the tenancy using the right form. Forms are available on the Landlord and Tenant
Board’s website.
If the landlord gives a tenant notice to end the tenancy, the tenant does not have to move out.
The landlord can give the tenant notice to end the tenancy in certain situations where the tenant is at fault. Examples include:
• tenant does not pay the full rent when it is due,

• tenant causes damage to the rental unit or building, and
• tenant substantially interferes with the reasonable enjoyment of other tenants or the landlord.
The landlord may also give notice to end a tenancy in certain situations that are not the tenant’s fault, but only at the end of the
term or rental period. In these cases, landlords must still give proper notice, and tenants may be entitled to compensation and/or
the right to return to the unit. Examples include:
• landlord or purchaser needs the unit for themselves, an immediate family member, or caregiver, and
• landlord needs to do extensive repairs or renovations that require a building permit and vacant possession of the unit.
If the tenant does not move out, the landlord must apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board in order to evict the tenant. The
Landlord and Tenant Board will hold a hearing and decide if the tenancy should end. Both the landlord and the tenant can come
to the hearing and explain their side to the Landlord and Tenant Board. If the Landlord and Tenant Board orders an eviction, the
eviction order can only be enforced by the Sheriff (Court Enforcement Officer).
It is an offence for the landlord to evict a tenant without following this process. If convicted, the landlord could face a fine of up to
$50,000 (for an individual) or $250,000 (for a corporation).
If the Landlord and Tenant agree to end the tenancy

The tenant and landlord can agree to end a tenancy at any time by using the proper Landlord and Tenant Board form. Some
landlords may ask the tenant to sign that form when signing the tenancy agreement (lease). In most cases, an agreement to end
a tenancy signed at the beginning of the tenancy agreement is unenforceable and the tenant does not have to move out.
There is more information on how to end a tenancy and reasons for eviction in the Act and in brochures on the Landlord and
Tenant Board website.
E. Giving Notices and Documents (Part XII of the Act)

The landlord and tenant have to deliver some official notices and other documents in writing. These notices and documents can
be:
• hand delivered,
• left in a mail box or a place where mail is ordinarily delivered, or
• mailed (this will count as delivered five days after mailing).
There are also other ways to serve notices and documents. For more information, contact the Landlord and Tenant Board or see
the Rules of Practice on its website.
2229E (2022/10) Page 9 of 14

F. Rent and Rent Receipts (Part VII of the Act)

Rent is the amount the tenant pays to the landlord to occupy the rental unit and receive services or facilities agreed to in this
agreement.
The tenant must pay their rent on time. If they do not, the landlord can give them notice to end the tenancy.
If the tenant asks for a receipt for rent or any payment or deposit, the landlord must give them one for free. This also applies to a
former tenant who asks for a receipt within 12 months after the end of their tenancy.
G. Rent Discounts (Part VII of Act)

The landlord can offer the tenant a discount for paying rent on or before the date it is due. This discount can be up to two per
cent of the lawful rent.
The landlord can also offer rent-free periods or discounts in one of three ways:
• Rent-free periods of up to three months within any 12-month period,

• A discount of up to one month’s rent spread evenly over eight months, or
• A discount of up to two months’ rent, with up to one month’s rent spread evenly over the first seven months, and up
to one month’s rent discounted in one of the last five months.
These types of discounts must be agreed to in writing.
H. Deposits (Part VII of the Act)

The landlord can only collect a deposit for the last month’s rent and a refundable key deposit. The tenant does not have to
provide any other form of deposit, such as pet or damage deposits. If the tenant pays anything more, the tenant can apply to the
Landlord and Tenant Board to get the money back.
Rent deposit (i.e. last month’s rent): The landlord can require a rent deposit on or before the tenant enters into the tenancy
agreement. The landlord must apply this money to the rent for the last period of the tenancy. The rent deposit must not be more
than one month’s rent or the rent for one rental period (e.g., one week in a weekly tenancy), whichever is less.
The landlord must pay the tenant interest on the rent deposit every year. If the rent increases after the tenant has paid a rent
deposit, the landlord can require the tenant to top-up the rent deposit so that it is the same as the new rent. The landlord can use
the interest on the rent deposit to top-up the rent deposit.
If the landlord is unable to let the tenant move into the rental unit, the landlord must return the deposit, unless the tenant agrees
to rent a different unit.
Key deposit: If the landlord collects a deposit for key(s), remote entry devices or cards, the landlord must return the deposit
when the tenant gives back their key(s) at the end of the tenancy.
The landlord can charge the tenant for additional keys that the tenant requests (for example, if the tenant wants an extra key or if
the tenant has lost their key), but the charge cannot be more than actual cost of the keys. This is not a key deposit.
I. Rent Increases and Decreases (Part VII of the Act)

Normally, the landlord can increase the rent only once every 12 months. The landlord must use the proper Landlord and Tenant
Board form and give the tenant at least 90 days' notice before the rent increase is to take effect.
Guideline Rent Increases

In most cases, the rent can be increased by no more than the rent increase guideline unless the Landlord and Tenant Board
approves a rent increase above the guideline. The guideline for each year can be found on the Landlord and Tenant Board's
website. Some newer units are not subject to the rent increase guideline, including:
• A unit in a new building, if no part of the building was occupied for residential purposes on or before November 15,
2018;
• A unit in a new addition to an existing building, if no part of the addition was occupied for residential purposes on or
before November 15, 2018; and,
• A new second unit in an existing house, such as a basement apartment, that was created after November 15, 2018
and that meets the requirements set out in the Act.

Rent Increases above the Guideline

The landlord can apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board for approval to raise the rent by more than the rent increase guideline.
Affected tenants can oppose this application at the Landlord and Tenant Board.
This kind of rent increase is called an above-guideline rent increase. The Landlord and Tenant Board can allow this kind of rent
increase if:
• the landlord's municipal taxes and charges have increased significantly,

• the landlord has done major repairs or renovations, or
• the costs of external security services (i.e. not performed by the landlord’s employees) have increased, or external
security services are being provided for the first time.
The landlord and tenant can also agree to an above-guideline rent increase, if the landlord agrees to renovate or add a new
service for the tenant. Certain rules apply.
Rent Reductions:
The landlord must reduce the rent if:
• the municipal property tax goes down by more than 2.49 per cent, or
• the rent was increased above the guideline to pay for repairs or renovations and the costs have been fully paid for
(this only applies to tenants who were living in the unit when the above guideline rent increase happened).
The tenant can apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board to reduce their rent if:
• municipal property taxes or charges on the rental property go down,

• the landlord reduced or removed a service without reducing the rent, or
• the landlord did not keep a promise they made in an agreement for a rent increase above the guideline.
J. Maintenance and Repairs (Part III, IV, V and XIV of the Act)
The landlord must keep the rental unit and property in good repair and comply with all health, safety and maintenance standards.
This includes the maintenance and repair of things that came with the unit, such as appliances, and of common areas, such as
parking lots, elevators, and hallways.
The tenant must pay their rent, even if they have problems with the maintenance and repair of their unit or property. If the tenant
is having a maintenance or repair problem, the tenant should let the landlord know. If needed, the tenant can apply to the
Landlord and Tenant Board.
The tenant is responsible for any damage to the rental property caused by the tenant, the tenant’s guest or another person who
lives in the rental unit. This applies to any damage caused on purpose or by not being careful enough. This does not include
damage that results from normal use of the rental unit over time (“wear and tear”). The landlord can apply to the Landlord and
Tenant Board if the tenant has not repaired such damage.
The tenant is responsible for ordinary cleanliness of the rental unit, except for any cleaning the landlord agreed to do.
K. Vital Services (Part I and III of the Act)

“Vital services” are hot or cold water, fuel, electricity, gas and heat.
The landlord must ensure that a rental unit has heating equipment capable of maintaining a minimum temperature of 20° Celsius
from September 1 to June 15. Some municipal by-laws may have stricter requirements.
The landlord cannot withhold or shut off the reasonable supply of a vital service, care service or food that the landlord must
supply under the tenancy agreement. If a vital service is cut-off because the landlord failed to pay their bill, the landlord is
considered to have withheld that service. However, if a vital service is cut-off or disconnected because the tenant failed to pay
their own utility bill, the tenant cannot claim that the landlord withheld a vital service.
The landlord cannot deliberately interfere with the reasonable supply of any vital service, care service or food, whether or not the
landlord is obligated to supply it under the tenancy agreement.
2229E (2022/10) Page 11 of 14

L. Harassment (Part III and IV of the Act)

It is against the law for the landlord (or anyone acting for the landlord, such as a superintendent or property manager) to harass
the tenant, or for the tenant to harass the landlord. If the landlord or the tenant is experiencing harassment they can apply to the
Landlord and Tenant Board.
M. Discrimination
If the landlord (or anyone acting for the landlord) discriminates against the tenant based on prohibited grounds of discrimination
under the Ontario Human Rights Code (the Code), they may be violating the tenant’s rights under the Code. The Landlord and
Tenant Board may be able to consider discrimination if it relates to an application under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. In
other situations, the tenant may have to take their case to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.
N. Landlord’s Entry into Rental Unit (Part III of the Act)

The tenant is entitled to reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit (e.g. quiet enjoyment, reasonable privacy, freedom from
unreasonable disturbance and exclusive use of the rental unit).
The landlord can enter the rental unit with 24 hours’ written notice only for the following reasons:
• make repairs,
• inspect the unit to see if repairs are needed, if the inspection is reasonable,
• show the rental unit to a possible buyer, insurer or mortgage lender,
• let a real estate agent show the unit to a possible buyer,
• have a property inspection done before converting the residential building into a condominium, or
• for any reasonable purpose listed in the tenancy agreement.
The written notice must include the reason for the entry and state the date and time (between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.) that the
landlord will enter the unit. With proper notice, the landlord can enter the unit when the tenant is not at home.
The landlord does not need to give a notice to enter:
• in case of emergency,
• if the tenant consents to entry,
• if the tenancy agreement requires the landlord to clean the unit, or
• if the tenancy is coming to an end and the landlord wants to show the unit to a potential new tenant – the landlord
can only show the unit between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and must make a reasonable effort to let the tenant know
when this will happen.
O. Locks (Part III and IV of the Act)

The landlord cannot change the locks of the rental unit unless the landlord gives the new keys to the tenant. The tenant cannot
change the locks of the rental unit without the consent of the landlord.
P. Assign or Sublet (Part VI of the Act)

The tenant may assign or sublet the rental unit to another person only with the consent of the landlord. The landlord cannot
arbitrarily or unreasonably withhold consent to a potential assignee or sublet of the rental unit.
1. Assignment: In an assignment, the tenant transfers their right to occupy the rental unit to someone else. The new
person takes the place of the tenant, and the tenancy agreement stays the same.
2. Sublet: A sublet occurs when the tenant moves out of the rental unit, lets another person (the ‘sub-tenant’) live
there until a specified date, and can return to live in the unit before the tenancy ends. The tenancy agreement and
the landlord-tenant relationship do not change.
A tenant who sublets a rental unit cannot:

• charge a higher rent than the landlord does for the rental unit,
• collect any additional fees for subletting the rental unit, or
• charge the sub-tenant for additional goods or services.
2229E (2022/10) Page 12 of 14
Q. Guests (Part III of the Act)

The landlord cannot stop tenants from having guests, require the tenant to notify the landlord or get the landlord's permission
before having guests. The landlord cannot charge extra fees or raise the rent due to guests in the rental unit. However, the
tenant is responsible for the behaviour of their guests.
The landlord cannot prevent the tenant from having a roommate, as long as municipal by-laws on occupancy standards are
respected.
If a tenant rents their whole unit to someone else (e.g. short-term rental), this person is not a “guest”. The tenant may have to get
the landlord’s permission.
R. Pets (Part III of the Act)

A tenancy agreement cannot prohibit animals in the rental unit or in or around the residential building.
There are some cases where the landlord can apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board to evict a tenant who has a pet. These
are some common examples:
• the pet makes too much noise, damages the unit or causes other tenants to have allergic reactions,
• the breed or species is inherently dangerous, or
• the rules of the condominium corporation do not allow pets.
S. Smoking (Part V of the Act)
The Act does not discuss smoking in a rental unit. The landlord and tenant can use Section 10 of this lease to agree to either
allow or prohibit smoking in the unit, and/or on the landlord’s property.
Even if the lease doesn’t prohibit smoking, the landlord may apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board to end the tenancy if the
smoking:
• substantially interferes with reasonable enjoyment of the landlord or other tenants,

• causes undue damage,
• impairs safety, or
• substantially interferes with another lawful right, privilege or interest of the landlord.
If the tenant believes that other people smoking in their building affects their health or safety, contravenes maintenance
standards, or substantially interferes with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit, they should discuss it with their landlord
before contacting the Landlord and Tenant Board.
T. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms

The landlord must provide the rental unit with working smoke alarms and, where applicable, carbon monoxide alarms.
The landlord is responsible for keeping smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in working condition, which includes replacing the
batteries. The tenant must not disconnect or tamper with any smoke or carbon monoxide alarm and must notify the landlord
immediately of any alarms not working properly.
U. Resolving Disputes
The landlord and tenant are required to follow the law. If they have problems or disagreements, the landlord and tenant should
first discuss the issue and attempt to resolve it themselves. If the landlord or tenant feels that the other is not obeying the law,
they may contact the Landlord and Tenant Board for information about their rights and responsibilities, including whether they
may apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board to resolve the dispute.
