See our new tip sheet If Your Employment Ends or check out our FAQ – Can the landlord or tenant ever “break the lease”? A lease is a contract between a landlord and a tenant (or tenants) that sets out the rules both parties will follow. Leases are also known as residential tenancy agreements or rental contracts. Leases usually include terms from the Residential Tenancies Act. For example, leases will often include information about when and why notice can be given to end a residential tenancy agreement, which is an issue covered under the law. The Residential Tenancies Act will always be enforced over any agreement that the landlord and tenant make on their own. If the law is silent on a particular issue, then the landlord and tenant can agree to anything, as long as it is not illegal. For example, the lease will usually contain terms about whether pets are allowed, which is not covered under the law. Landlords and tenants are left to come up with their own agreements about pets.
