Common questions

Can I sublet my apartment in Ontario?
Usually only with landlord consent and lease compliance. This page is for current Ontario tenants who already have a lease and need to leave early — not a place to find or post listings. Subletting in Ontario depends on your lease terms and provincial tenant law. Many leases require written landlord consent before subletting or assigning.
What's the difference between a sublet and a lease assignment in Ontario?
A sublet keeps you on the master lease while someone else occupies the unit. An assignment transfers the lease to a new tenant (landlord approval still usually required). Ontario rules and your lease decide which path is available.
I already have a Ontario lease. Is this the right tool?
Yes if you need to transfer or temporarily fill your own unit. Confirm legality here first, then use local listing platforms to find a replacement tenant. Unlock the $19 report for a draft consent request letter.
