Adding someone to your tenancy means you both become joint tenants. It's not the same as passing your tenancy on to someone else. You need permission from your landlord to add someone as a joint tenant.
Nope. You don't have to tell them at all. You can even accept payment from your new roommate and the landlord can't do anything about it (as long as you are not breaking maximum occupancy laws).
Landlords are not allowed to unreasonably restrict tenants from having guests, although they may have valid concerns about safety, security, and potential disruptions caused by guests. How long can a tenant have a guest in Ontario? There is no specific time limit outlined in the RTA.
Section 48(1) of the RTA permits the landlord to give notice of termination to a tenant if the landlord, in good faith, requires the unit for residential occupation for a period of at least one year by the landlord, a specified family member or a caregiver. This notice is often referred to as a "N12 notice".
In ontario you can legally move in as many people as you like as long as you respect health, safety, and occupancy codes and/or bylaws in your area. Your LL has no say over this and cannot terminate or evict over it.
If you want to add someone as a joint tenant: you need your landlord's permission, and. your landlord can refuse.
You can usually let other people live with you while you are the tenant as long as your home is not overcrowded. You should ask your landlord before anyone moves in if your agreement says you have to. Sometimes a landlord's insurance company or mortgage lender asks for this to be in the tenancy agreement.
Changing your tenancy If you hold a tenancy on your own, you can apply for other people to be included along with you on the tenancy agreement. Any other joint tenant, partner or person living with you must also give their written agreement.
In addition, the signatures of the parties must be witnessed. The witness(es) can be anybody as long as they are not a party to the contract.
