The deal between a lease holder and a roommate is a simple contract, whether written down or verbal and there is no law requiring a notice period to end it. Disputes also cannot be taken to the Landlord and Tenant Board ? they have to go through small claims court.

A roommate who isn't on the landlord-tenant lease agreement has a rental agreement with the legal tenant which isn't covered by the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA). This means that the responsibility will generally fall on you to evict your roommate ? they are your subtenant.

Fixed-term: If you have a fixed-term tenancy, like a one year lease, then you must give notice at least 60 days before the end of the lease. The termination date cannot be before the last day of the fixed term. If you don't give notice, the tenancy continues.

A predatory lease is an unfair or illegal rental contract that takes advantage of the renter. Sometimes, predatory leases are outright scams designed to cheat tenants out of their money or belongings. In other instances, predatory leases are legal and valid agreements but with terms that are unfair to the renter.

Generally, tenants who rent a single or shared room have the same rights as most other residential tenants in Ontario. However, if they share a kitchen or a bathroom with the owner or the owner's immediate family members, special rules apply.

Typically, a landlord cannot raise rent or charge extra fees when a tenant adds a roommate or occupant. Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) prohibits landlords from collecting any refundable or non-refundable fees, except for a previously agreed upon deposit for keys and/or one month's rent.

Neither a landlord or tenant can unilaterally break a lease, however both of you can agree to end the lease. If both parties agree, the lease can be terminated with an N11 agreement.

If necessary, the landlord can take legal action and file an eviction order, which demands a move out by a specific date. If this is not met, the landlord or master tenant can request for a sheriff to physically remove and evict the roommate from the building.
