Tenancy Agreements 租赁协议
When a landlord rents a unit to a person, they enter into a tenancy agreement– a contract in which the tenant agrees to pay rent for the right to live in the rental unit. If a tenancy agreement is first entered into on or after April 30,2018, the tenancy agreement must be in writing, and the landlord must use a standard lease form developed by the Ministry of Housing. This form is called Residential Tenancy Agreement (Standard Form of Lease).
当房东把一个单元租给一个人时,他们就会签订租赁协议-承租人同意支付租金的合同租赁单位。如在4月30日或之后首次签订租赁协议,2018年,租赁协议必须是书面形式,而房东必须使用a由住房制定的标准租赁表格。这种形式是被称为住宅租赁协议(标准的租赁形式)。
Fixed term tenancy 固定期限租赁
If the landlord and tenant agree that the tenancy will last for a specific period of time, this is called a fixed term tenancy. This is because both the start and end date are set out in the tenancy agreement. Most leases are for a fixed term, usually for a year.如果业主和租客同意该租赁将持续一段特定的时间,这就被称为固定期限租赁。这是因为开始日期和结束日期都在租赁中列出了 协定大多数租赁是固定的,通常为一年。
Renewing a lease 续租
The end of a fixed term tenancy or lease does not mean that the tenant has to move out or sign a renewal or new lease in order to stay.固定期限租赁或租约的结束并不意味着承租人必须迁出或签署续期或新租约才能入住。
The lease is renewed automatically on a month-to-month basis (if the rent is paid monthly) or week-to-week basis (if rent is paid weekly). This means the landlord and tenant do not have to sign a new fixed term lease when the term of the lease runs out. All the rules of the former lease will still apply to the landlord and tenant.租约按月(如果租金按月支付)或每周(如果租金按周支付)自动续期。这意味着房东和租客不需要签署一个新的合同 指租赁期限届满时的固定期限租赁。前租约的所有规则仍适用于业主和租客。
The landlord and tenant can also agree to renew the tenancy agreement for another fixed term period, or enter into a new lease. If the landlord and tenant agree to enter into a new lease, the terms of the lease can only be changed in accordance with the Act.
业主和租客还可以同意将租赁协议延长另一个固定期限,或签订新的租约。如果业主和租客同意签订新的租约,条款o f租约只能根据本法进行变更。
Security of tenancy 租赁担保
Tenants have security of tenancy. This means that a tenant can continue to occupy the rental unit until:
租户有租赁担保。这意味着租户可以继续租用租赁单元,直到:
- thetenant decides to leave and gives the landlord proper notice that they intend to move out (see the Board’s brochure on How a Tenant Can End Their Tenancy for more information),租客决定离开,并适当通知业主他们打算搬走(有关更多信息,请参阅董事会关于租客如何终止租赁的小册子),
- thelandlord and tenant agree to end the tenancy, or 业主与租客同意终止租赁,或
- thelandlord gives the tenant a notice to end the tenancy for a reason allowed by the Act, and 房东以该法案允许的理由通知承租人终止租赁,并且
- thetenant agrees to move, or 承租人同意搬迁,或
- the tenant does not agree with the landlord’s notice, thelandlord applies to the Board, and the Board issues an eviction 租客不同意房东的通知,房东会向董事会提出申请,而董事会则会发出驱逐令。
If the landlord gives a tenant notice to end the tenancy, the tenant does not have to move out. The landlord must apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board (the Board) for an order allowing the eviction of the tenant. The tenant has the right to go to a hearing and explain why they should not be evicted.
如果业主通知租客终止租约,租客就不必搬出去了。业主必须向业主和租客董事会(董事会)申请允许驱逐的命令 的租户。承租人有权去听证会上解释为什么他们不应该被驱逐出去。
Landlord cannot lock tenant out of the rental unit
房东不能将租客锁在出租单元之外
It is illegal for a landlord to change the locks to a rental unit or the building, without giving the tenant a key for the new locks. The only exceptions are where: 房东在不把锁改成出租单元或大楼的时候,就不给租户一把新锁的钥匙,这是违法的。唯一的例外情况是:
- thelocks are changed because the tenant has been evicted by the Sheriff, or 锁被改变是因为租户已经被警长驱逐了,或者
- thelandlord is sure that the tenant has abandoned the 房东确信房客已经放弃了这个单元。
Landlord cannot lock tenant out of the rental unit (continued)
业主不能将租户锁定在出租单元之外(续)
It is an offence for a landlord to illegally lock a tenant out of their rental unit or the building. If a landlord is convicted in Provincial Court under the Provincial Offences Act, they could be fined up to $25,000 if the landlord is an individual, or $100,000, if the landlord is a corporation.房东非法将房客锁在其出租单位或建筑物之外是违法行为。如果一个房东根据《省犯罪法》在省法院被定罪,他们可以被定罪 如果房东是个人,最高可达2.5万美元;如果房东是公司,最高可达10万美元。
If a tenant is illegally locked out and if the unit is still vacant, the tenant can apply to the Board for an order that requires the landlord to let the tenant back into the unit.如租客被非法锁在门外,而该单位仍属空置,租客可向委员会申请命令,要求业主让租客返回该单位。

业主和租客可以同意终止租赁A landlord and tenant can agree to end the tenancy at any time, even during the term of a lease.

Written agreements should be signed by all parties included in the agreement.业主和租客可以同意在任何时候终止租赁,甚至在租期内。他们可以达成一个口头协议来终止租赁,但最好是有一个书面协议。这w 嗯,如果对协议有任何混淆,业主和租客都有一份书面副本供参考。协议各方应签署书面协议。

The landlord can apply to the Board for an order to evict the tenant if the tenant refuses to leave as agreed to, unless the landlord and tenant make a new agreement.如租客拒绝按协议离开,业主可向董事会申请命令驱逐租客,除非业主及租客作出新协议。

This is sometimes called ending a tenancy “for cause”.该法案允许,如果租客、客人或住在租赁单元的其他人做了他们不应该做或不做的事情,房东可以通知租客提前终止租赁 我没有做一些他们应该做的事。这有时被称为“有理由”终止租赁。
Some examples of “for cause” reasons for ending a tenancy are:

Tenant’s remedy 承租人的救济
For some of the for cause reasons for ending a tenancy, a tenant can prevent the tenancy from ending by stopping the behaviour referred to in the notice, or by doing what the notice requests. This is a called a tenant’s remedy. The notice explains what this is, and gives a deadline for the tenant to comply. If the tenant does what the notice asks them to do by the deadline, the notice to end the tenancy is then void. The landlord cannot apply to the Board to evict a tenant based on a void notice.由于某些终止租赁的原因,租客可以通过停止通知中提及的行为,或按照通知要求的操作,来阻止租赁终止。这是 a被称为承租人的救济。该通知解释了这是什么,并给出了承租人遵守的最后期限。如果承租人在截止日期前按照通知要求他们做的事情做,通知终止 租赁是无效的。业主不能根据无效通知向董事会申请驱逐租客。
For those reasons for ending a tenancy that do not have a remedy, the tenant cannot do anything to void the notice. However, this does not mean the tenant has to move out.由于终止租赁的原因,承租人不能采取任何行动来撤销该通知。然而,这并不意味着租户必须搬出去。
If the tenant does not move out after receiving a notice to end the tenancy, the landlord can file an application to the Board to end the tenancy. The Board will decide if the tenancy should end after holding a hearing. Both the landlord and the tenant can come to the hearing and explain their side of the story to a Member of the Board.
