Standardized Lease Agreements are Real in Ontario

Yes, it finally happened after years of uncertainty, complexity, and fine print that caused anxiety for both tenants who felt compelled to sign lease agreements that they did not quite understand, and anxiety for landlords who wanted to ensure that they protected their asset.

As of April 30, 2018, residential lease agreements must use a standard form. The standardized lease agreement has certainly simplified what used to be like walking through a land mine; however, it is still a legal and binding agreement that should be taken seriously.
