All residential leases signed on or after April 30, 2018 must be on the new Ontario standard lease form.
Changes to the Residential Tenancies Act makes it mandatory to use the standard lease template that is currently available only through the Government Forms Repository. According to information provided by the Ontario Real Estate Association (and sent by OREA to all members on March 21, 2018), OREA Form #400 – Agreement to Lease Residential can be used only to set up the terms of the lease and the standard lease template must be used to formalize the actual lease.
OREA is in the process of reviewing their Form #400 – Agreement to Lease Residential – and its associated clause for any revisions they may need.
Be sure you know the terms of the standard lease form for Monday, April 30, 2018!

When you create your listing supplements, you should avoid using special characters – that is, anything other than numbers and letters – in the file name.
Many characters have special meanings to browsers and operating systems, so if you include them in a file name, a web browser may attempt to perform that function instead of opening the file.
So play it safe and avoid using these special characters:
- # (pound/hashtag/number sign)
- % (per cent)
- & (ampersand)
- { (left curly bracket)
- } (right curly bracket)
- : (colon)
- \ (back slash)
- @ (at sign)
- < (left angle bracket)
- > (right angle bracket)
- “ (double quotes)
- * (asterisk)
- ? (question mark)
- / (forward slash)
- (blank spaces)
- $ (dollar sign)
- ! (exclamation point)
- ‘ (single quote/apostrophe)
Some additional considerations:
- Don’t start or end your file name with a space, period, hyphen or underline
- Keep your file names to a reasonable length
- Avoid using spaces; use a hyphen instead
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our MLS® Help Desk at (905).667.4650 or support@rahb.ca.
