Answers to Common Questions Before You Rent.
Most landlords in Ontario will request a valid government-issued ID, proof of income (such as recent pay stubs or a job offer letter), a credit report, and references from previous landlords or employers. Being organized and responsive with these documents can improve your chances in a competitive market.
In Ontario, landlords can legally ask for a rent deposit equal to one month’s rent, to be applied to the last month of tenancy. Unlike some other provinces or countries, security deposits for damages are not allowed under the Residential Tenancies Act.
While some landlords or condominium buildings may have restrictions, Ontario law does not allow a landlord to refuse or evict a tenant solely for having pets, unless they are causing damage, allergic reactions in other tenants, or violating condo by-laws. Always check the lease for pet-related clauses.
Renters insurance isn’t mandatory by law in Ontario, but many landlords will strongly encourage or even include it as a lease condition. It protects your belongings against theft, fire, and other damages—and includes liability coverage in case of accidental damage to the unit or injury to others.
Most rental agreements in Ontario begin with a fixed one-year lease, after which they often transition to a month-to-month agreement by default unless a new fixed-term lease is signed. Shorter leases can be negotiated, but they are less common in traditional residential rentals.
