Responsibilities of the tenant

  • Must pay rent in full and on time.
  • Keep the residence clean-up to a standard that most people would consider ordinary or everyday cleanliness.
  • Tenants must practice due diligence in the use of the residence, such as not leaving the windows open when it is raining, as this could damage the premises, causing mould and pest problems.
  • Not obstruct, harass, threaten, or pressure the landlord.
  • Tenants are responsible for repairing any damage to the rental property caused by themselves or their guests. This applies to whether the damage is caused on purpose, by accident or by not being careful.
  • Contact the landlord as soon as possible if a severe problem arises involving repairs or services.
  • Permit entry with proper notice from the landlord for repairs or showing of premises for the next tenant or purchaser.
  • Tenants must meet the provisions of their lease.
