I Would Like to End My Tenancy. What Are My Options?

OPTION #1 Request a Release: You can request that the landlord agree to release you from your tenancy by way of signing a Form N11. The landlord does not have to agree to this request.

OPTION #2 Re-assign Your Tenancy: You can request that the landlord allow you to assign your tenancy to another person. In this scenario, you would attempt to locate another qualified individual to take over the lease and present that person to the landlord as a potential tenant. If you receive permission to try to find a suitable candidate to take over your lease, please have the interested candidate apply using the instructions found here: https://landlord.net/apps. Please also be sure to read the below notes about the assignment process:

• The landlord has the right to refuse your request to assign your lease, but, if they do, you will be able to end your tenancy with at least 30 days’ notice.
• The landlord has the right to decline allowing a particular person to take over your lease but cannot do so unreasonably or arbitrarily.
• Per your lease agreement, there is a $200 + HST (i.e., $226) administrative fee that will be charged to you if you choose to assign your lease to another person.
