Renting

This guide is intended to provide the most common rental requirements across
the country. However, landlord-tenant laws change from time to time in every
province. This guide is not intended to provide legal advice. If you require
specific legal advice, contact your local rental authority or a lawyer.


Rental issues can be similar in any area of the country, but authorities may
treat them differently according to provincial or territorial legislation.


For both landlord and tenant, it is important to understand your rights and
responsibilities. Your rental agreement or lease should cover most rules and
terms, but treatment of the rules and terms in your lease may vary depending on
the province or territory of the rental property. Knowing the rules for where
you rent currently is crucial because the legal statutes may differ from
province to province. For example, determining when a landlord can enter
residential premises with or without notice differs across the country. The
types of dwellings that fall under provincial or territorial tenancy legislation
also varies from province to province. For example, in some provinces mobile
home park residents are protected under the provincial tenancy legislation,
while in others they are excluded. Equipped with the right information, both
landlords and tenants will be better prepared to deal with issues that might
arise.
