Your Guide to Assignment and Subletting in Ontario

In order to assign a lease or sublet in Ontario, you have to get your landlord’s permission to do so, and we recommend you keep written proof of the request. Your landlord must respond to you within seven days since the request was made, and cannot unreasonably refuse consent to an assignment, unless the person you want to assign or sublet to has been known to cause problems with landlords in the past, such as damaging the property or not paying rent. Keep in mind that you might be charged an administrative fee, often up to a few hundred dollars, from your landlord to approve the assignment — including the cost of doing a credit check. <a href="https://medium.com/tolobi/your-guide-to-assignment-and-subletting-in-ontario-fc4e89cd9efc">Click Here</a>
