The Landlord Rental Agreement serves as the foundational document for establishing a formal residential tenancy relationship in Canada. This agreement is essential whenever a property owner (landlord) intends to rent residential space to a tenant, whether for long-term or fixed-period occupancy. The document must align with provincial residential tenancy acts, which provide specific requirements and protections for both parties. Given Canada's federal structure, while certain aspects (like human rights and privacy) fall under federal jurisdiction, most rental regulations are provincial. The agreement typically includes comprehensive details about the property, rental terms, maintenance obligations, and dispute resolution procedures, while ensuring compliance with provincial rent increase guidelines and tenant protection measures.
