Under an existing tenancy agreement, the landlord can only increase the rent in response to additional occupants if the agreement includes a term allowing the rent to vary by a stated amount based on the number of occupants or the parties all agree to sign a new tenancy agreement.

If the roommate leaving gives proper notice in writing to move out, the tenancy will end for the other co-tenants as well ? even if they did not sign the notice. The remaining roommates will have to either move out or sign a brand-new tenancy agreement in order to stay.

If your agreement is not with the landlord, you will not have protection under the Residential Tenancy Act. This is common when an existing tenant allows a roommate to move in without getting the landlord's agreement to add that person to the tenancy agreement.

The landlord may only increase the rent 12 months after the date that the existing rent was established with the tenant(s) or 12 months after the date of the last legal rent increase for the tenant(s), even if there is a new landlord or a new tenant by way of an assignment.

When a landlord ends a tenancy to use the property, they must compensate the tenant the equivalent of one month's rent. Compensation must be given on or before the move-out date on the two-month notice to end tenancy.

In most cases, a landlord can't refuse to rent a property to a family with children, though, they can limit the number of people living in a rental unit.

If the roommate leaving gives proper notice in writing to move out, the tenancy will end for the other co-tenants as well ? even if they did not sign the notice. The remaining roommates will have to either move out or sign a brand-new tenancy agreement in order to stay.
