Landlord Obligations
Condition of premise
Landlords must keep the property in good condition and comply with health, safety, and housing laws, while tenants must keep the property clean and repair any damage they cause.
Consent to sublet
Tenants may sublet with the landlord's written consent, and landlords cannot unreasonably withhold this consent or charge more than the actual expenses.
Mitigate damages
If the tenant abandons the property, the landlord must try to mitigate any damages.
Entry to suite
Landlords cannot enter the property without the tenant's consent except in certain circumstances, such as showing the property to a prospective tenant or in case of emergency.
Peaceful Enjoyment
Landlords and tenants must respect each other's privacy and peaceful enjoyment of the property, and cannot disconnect utilities without the other party's written consent.
Agreement
If the landlord and tenant have a written rental agreement, these rules must be included in the agreement without any changes.
