Questions
Renting in Ontario
How do I apply for a rental listed on MLS®?
Contact Yvonne at (519) 962-8700 or use the form on any listing. She will arrange a showing and help you submit an application, which usually includes a rental application form, proof of income or employment, references and a credit report.
What deposits can a landlord ask for in Ontario?
Under Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act, a landlord can collect a rent deposit of up to one month's rent, which must be applied to your last month, and a refundable key deposit that reflects the cost of replacing the keys. Damage or security deposits are not permitted.
Does it cost a tenant anything to use a REALTOR® to find a rental?
For rentals listed on MLS®, the commission is typically paid by the landlord, so there is usually no fee for the tenant. Yvonne will confirm how she is paid before you sign anything.
How much can my rent go up each year?
Most Ontario rentals are covered by the province's annual rent increase guideline, which is set each year, and rent can generally be raised only once every 12 months with 90 days' written notice. Units first occupied for residential use after November 15, 2018 are exempt from the guideline.
Is a written lease required?
Most private residential tenancies in Ontario must use the province's Standard Lease form. If you are not given one, you can request it in writing from your landlord.
General information only, not legal advice. For your rights and obligations, see Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act and the Landlord and Tenant Board.
