Recent changes to the Residential Tenancies Act, which became effective April 30, 2018, now require landlords to use Ontario’s Residential Tenancy Agreement (Standard Form of Lease) for all written tenancy agreements entered into on or after April 30, 2018. A copy of this Standard Form of Lease is available at http://www.mah.gov.on.ca/Page18704.aspx.
