Isn’t the tenant required to move at the end of the lease?

The tenant is not required to move at the end of the lease. Landlords often expect that a tenant will vacate at the end of the lease, however, there is no requirement under the Residential Tenancies Act to do so. If you have a fixed term tenancy agreement with the tenant and it expires, the tenancy continues on a month to month basis as a statutory tenancy under the same terms and conditions of the original lease.
