Law
2.
A tenant does not have to sign a new lease when a fixed term tenancy ends. If the tenant decides not to
sign a new lease, the tenant does not have to move, but the tenancy becomes "month-to-month".
If a tenant plans to move, the tenant must notify the landlord on Form N9 (Tenant's Notice to Terminate
the Tenancy) at least 60 days before the lease expires if the tenant has a fixed term of tenancy or 60
days before the end of a monthly or yearly rental period. The tenant must notify the landlord on Form
N9 at least 28 days before the end of a weekly rental period.
3.
If the rent increase needs approval by an order under the Tenant Protection Act, the tenant is not
required to pay more than the guideline increase until the order is issued. If the tenant only pays the
guideline increase, the tenant may owe the landlord once the order is issued.
