Residential TradingLease AgreementsONHARD

A tenant on a two-year fixed-term lease that was not on the standard form demands a standard lease in writing. The landlord promptly provides a signed standard lease, but the tenant decides not to sign it. What right does the tenant now have?

Correct Answer

B) To end the tenancy early on at least 60 days' notice, given within 30 days after receiving it

Section 47.0.1 lets a tenant under a fixed-term or yearly tenancy that should have been on the standard form end it early if the tenant demanded a standard lease and the landlord complied but the tenant did not sign it. The notice must be given no later than 30 days after the landlord provided the proposed lease, with at least 60 days' notice ending on the last day of a rental period.

Answer Options
A
None; once the standard lease is supplied, the original two-year term binds the tenant fully
B
To end the tenancy early on at least 60 days' notice, given within 30 days after receiving it
C
To withhold one month's rent, since the landlord's original lease form did not comply
D
To leave on 10 days' notice, since the original non-standard lease was void from the start
