Document background
The End of Tenancy Form is a vital document in Canadian residential property management, designed to facilitate the formal conclusion of rental agreements while ensuring compliance with provincial tenancy laws. This document becomes necessary when either the landlord or tenant initiates the termination of a lease agreement, whether at the natural end of the term or through early termination. It captures critical information including property condition assessments, security deposit calculations, utility reading recordings, and the return of keys and access devices. The form serves multiple purposes: it provides legal protection for both parties, documents the property's condition, clarifies financial settlements, and creates a clear record of the tenancy termination. Its format and content are typically aligned with specific provincial requirements, as residential tenancy matters fall under provincial jurisdiction in Canada.
