What changes from province to province

Which parts of a lease depend on where the property is, and where to see them.

Every lease. RentMouse uses the province of the property on the lease.

Notes beside the questions, and the governing-law and disclosure articles.

What varies

  • How large a deposit may be, and whether interest is owed on it.
  • How and when a deposit must be returned or claimed against.
  • How much notice is needed to end a tenancy, and to increase the rent.
  • How much notice is needed before entering the home.
  • Whether a late fee is allowed, and on what basis.
  • What must be disclosed to a renter, and by when.

Where you see it

RentMouse holds a record for each province and shows the relevant part of it beside the question it affects, and again in the document. The province comes from the property's own address, so a portfolio spread across provinces produces the right notes for each lease without you choosing anything.

Those notes are shown to help you notice a decision that is not yours to make. They are a summary, not the legislation.

If the property is outside a supported province

Where RentMouse has no record for a jurisdiction, the document still assembles, but without province-specific notes. Check the requirements for that jurisdiction before using it.

Legal note

  • Every item in the list above. RentMouse reports what it holds on record for the province; it does not decide what the law requires of you.
