Discard Signature Lease For Free

An individual who owns a property as a joint tenant with another individual may unilaterally sever the joint tenancy by transferring their share of the property to someone else or by transferring their share to themselves. In Ontario, this would be completed by registering an entirely new transfer on Teraview.

Joint and several liability Tenants named on the tenancy agreement are responsible for the rent. And if the tenant exits the property while the rental contract is still in effect, they are liable to pay their share of the rent.

Removing yourself from a joint lease usually requires the agreement of all co-tenants and the landlord. All parties need to be on board with the changes to the lease arrangement.

If the person who moved out is a legal tenant (they signed the State Tenancy Agreement), they must complete a Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) - Notice of Intention to Leave form (Form 13 ). You will need to provide current income details for all remaining household members.

A joint tenancy may be converted to a tenancy-in-common by any joint tenant, unilaterally. This process is called 'severing the joint tenancy'. The consent of the other joint tenant(s) is not required. Title to a property held by two former spouses can be severed by one without a divorce or family law proceedings.

If one tenant leaves, the remaining tenant may be liable for the full amount of monthly rent. A landlord may review the rent-to-income ratio of the remaining tenant if the tenant wants to stay and keep paying the rent. New roommates should be screened before being added to the lease agreement.

If the co-renter moving out is being replaced by someone else, the new renter's name should go on the rental agreement. If the co-renter is moving out without being replaced by another renter, they must negotiate with the remaining renters and the rental provider to have their name removed from the rental agreement.

If the lease does not have a set length, the tenant must give a written notice one to two months before leaving. If the lease is for 12 months or more, the tenant must give notice to the landlord three to six months before the end of the lease.

You can only end your fixed term tenancy early if your agreement says you can or by getting your landlord to agree to end your tenancy. If your agreement says you can end your fixed term tenancy early, this means you have a 'break clause'. Your tenancy agreement will tell you when the break clause can apply.
