Common questions
- Can I sublet my apartment in Toronto?
- Usually only with landlord consent and lease compliance. This page is for current Toronto tenants who already have a lease and need to leave early — not a place to find or post listings. Under Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act, tenants may assign or sublet with the landlord's consent. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold consent and cannot charge a fee beyond actual out-of-pocket costs.
- What's the difference between a sublet and a lease assignment in Toronto?
- 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 Toronto 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.
