โœ๏ธ Signing the lease is just one stepโ€”the next is receiving your signed copy.

In Ontario, landlords are required to provide tenants with a signed copy of the lease within 21 days after the tenant signs it.

Your lease outlines important details like the rent amount, whatโ€™s included, and the terms of your tenancy, so be sure to keep a copy for your records.

Thinking about adding an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) to your property? ๐Ÿ 

An ADU is a secondary dwelling unit on your property โ€” whether that's inside your main home or in an accessory building like a converted garage.

In North Bay's Urban Area, property owners can now have up to 3 ADUs on a single property.

ADU rules and permissions vary by municipality, so make sure to review your local zoning by-laws before moving forward with any plans. If you're in North Bay, visit northbay.ca or contact the City's zoning department for details.

Who is responsible for snow removal and landscaping?

Before assigning maintenance responsibilities, itโ€™s important to understand the requirements of the RTA and relevant Landlord and Tenant Board decisions.

Thinking about leaving your rental before your lease ends?

Understanding the difference between a sublet and an assignment can help you make informed decisions about your housing options.

๐Ÿ”„ A sublet is temporary โ€” you plan to return to the unit.

๐Ÿ”‘ An assignment is permanent โ€” another person takes over your tenancy.

In most cases, landlord consent is required for both.
