Difference between revisions of "Tenancy Agreements (19:II)"

The RTA requires that all tenancy agreements include standard terms outlining key statutory rights and responsibilities of the tenant and landlord (see RTA s 12, and the Schedule to the Regulation). The standard terms cover repairs, payment of rent, rent increases, security deposits, assignment or sub-let, occupants and invited guests, entry of the residential premises by the landlord, locks, ending the tenancy, and the application of the RTA.

This Agreement incorporates suggestions put forward by landlord and tenant stakeholders, and includes the prescribed terms found in the Schedule of the Regulation.
