If the lessor proposes to renew the lease, the terms of the new offer must be included. Owners who write leases should be aware of this, as this is a legal document. If a document has two or more possible meanings, a tenant may accept any appropriate interpretation of the document by the tenant and the law will apply it. A tenant can read an agreement in a way that is more advantageous to the tenant than the landlord has planned. If there are ambiguities, the law will impose the meaning that the tenant has understood. However, this does not apply when the lease is in place for a fixed term. A signed lease is not required for periodic leases. A fixed-term lease of more than 3 months must be written, the expiry date of the lease and the provisions of the Residential Tenancy Act must be included. If the lease is tendered, the lessor is required to distribute a signed copy to the tenant within 20 days of signing. Whether the lease is written or not, the lessor must provide the tenant with a service address and a telephone number as well as an emergency care telephone number.

The standard terms of a lease in the Residential Lease Regulations apply to all written or oral leases. Common tenants and separate tenants must be distinguished from subtenants. A tenant can sign a lease for the entire building and find a roommate to sublet part of the rental space. In this case, only the principal tenant has obligations to the landlord and must pay the full rent. The principal tenant will be a subtenant owner and can collect and maintain a security deposit. The principal tenant must obtain the landlord`s approval for the sublease or include the right of sublease as the term of the tenancy agreement. If the owner`s consent is required, an owner must not respect the consent unreasonably. the public housing authority may refuse to give consent for any reason. The landlord can enter a tenant`s rented property in case of emergency or with the tenant`s consent.

Otherwise, the landlord is required to submit a 24-hour pre-registration to the tenant in writing, which lasts between 8 .m and 20 hours .m when he enters the premises. If the tenant has submitted a notice of termination, the landlord is allowed to present the property with the tenant`s consent or, as agreed in writing with the tenant, or after the landlord has tried to obtain two hours` notice from the tenant.
