Document background
The Informal Lease Agreement serves as a fundamental document for establishing residential rental relationships in Canada. It is designed for situations where a simplified yet legally binding agreement is preferred, particularly suitable for individual landlords, small property owners, or uncomplicated rental arrangements. This document type maintains compliance with provincial residential tenancy laws while being more accessible than traditional, complex lease agreements. The Informal Lease Agreement includes all essential elements required by Canadian law: property details, rental terms, payment obligations, maintenance responsibilities, and basic rights of both parties. It's particularly useful for residential properties where the relationship between landlord and tenant is direct and straightforward, though it can be adapted for use by property management companies handling uncomplicated rental situations.
