About Lease Renewals in Ontario
In Ontario, residential tenancies automatically continue on a month-to-month basis after the initial lease term ends. There’s no requirement to sign a new lease.
Key points:
- Tenant doesn’t have to sign a new lease
- All terms of the original lease continue
- Either party can give proper notice to end the tenancy
- You can offer a new fixed-term lease, but tenant can decline
This template is for general guidance. Always use the official N1 form for rent increases.
