The Boarding House Tenancy Agreement is essential for property owners and operators who provide accommodation in shared living environments across Canadian provinces. This document is specifically designed for situations where tenants rent individual rooms while sharing common facilities such as kitchens, bathrooms, or living areas with other residents. It incorporates provincial residential tenancy requirements while addressing the unique aspects of boarding house arrangements, including house rules, shared facility usage, and any additional services provided (such as meals or cleaning). The agreement is particularly relevant for student accommodation, social housing, or other situations where multiple occupants share living spaces under one roof. It must comply with provincial residential tenancy acts, building codes, and public health regulations while providing clear guidelines for both landlords and tenants in managing this specific type of housing arrangement.
