Tenants & leases
"D&D caught an error in my old lease template that would have made a key clause unenforceable at the LTB. Their RTA compliance review alone has been worth the management fee ten times over."

Keep the tenancy record coherent
Lease administration connects the signed agreement with later communications, recorded changes and key dates. Keeping that history together makes it easier to understand the current arrangement without relying on scattered messages.
More than a renewal date
An approaching end date is a point for review, not proof that a tenancy ends automatically. The applicable tenancy rules and the actual agreement determine what happens next. Landlord and Tenant Board: Residential Tenancies Act guide
Documents and decisions belong together
Drafts, approvals and signed versions serve different purposes. A clear record identifies which document is current and how any agreed changes were authorised and communicated.
A practical management handoff
Existing leases and outstanding administrative tasks need to be carried into the management arrangement. Document preparation and tracking can be defined separately from legal advice or dispute representation.

Questions about Lease Management and Renewals
Does a fixed-term tenancy automatically end on its end date?
Generally, Ontario residential tenancies continue after the fixed term if not lawfully ended, often on a monthly basis when rent is paid monthly. Confirm the applicable arrangement instead of treating a renewal date as automatic vacant possession. Landlord and Tenant Board: Residential Tenancies Act guide
Does every tenancy use the same lease form?
The Ontario standard lease applies to most private residential tenancies, with exceptions. Confirm which rules and form apply to the actual rental before document preparation; an administrative template should not replace that review. Landlord and Tenant Board: Residential Tenancies Act guide
Can lease management rewrite an existing tenant's terms?
Administration should preserve the current signed record and identify any proposed change for proper review and approval. Do not treat a management handoff as permission to replace an agreement or impose a new tenancy arrangement.
Is legal advice included with lease administration?
Confirm it separately. Tracking dates, preparing records and coordinating signatures are administrative tasks; advice on unusual provisions, notices or disputes may need an appropriately qualified professional under a separate scope.
What should transfer from a previous manager?
Collect the current signed lease, later agreed changes, relevant communications and unresolved administrative tasks through a private channel. Identify gaps so an incomplete folder is not treated as a complete tenancy history.
How should renewal discussions be documented?
Keep the proposal, owner approvals, tenant communication and final signed documents distinct. Record what remains undecided and the person responsible for follow-up rather than marking a renewal complete when only a draft has been prepared.
