Agreements between tenants (and landlords) and their roommates are not covered by the Residential Rents Act. This means that roommates are not part of the lease. In most basic terms, a tenant is the person (or people) who pay the rent to live on your property. This is to whom you rent the rent, whom you mention on the lease and who you agree to respect the responsibilities of the rental agreement (for example.B. pay the rent on time, respect the laws, properly maintain the property, etc.). Basically, any adult over the age of 18 living in the unit. But even if a name is not on the lease and they pay rent, they can be considered tenants. If you move in with other people, you may be offered separate rentals, a lease or a lease in the name of a person. If the lease has rights and obligations outside the law, the tenant who has not signed the lease cannot be subject to these provisions. For example, if a lease allows a tenant to terminate a periodic lease with shorter notice, a tenant who has not signed the contract may not be able to benefit from the shorter notice period. If someone moves into the rental unit without the owner`s consent, the landlord has the right under the Landlord Of The Rental Act to require the person to dispose of the property. Depending on the circumstances, the person may be required to leave within 48 hours or 14 days.
