What Ontario’s Mandatory Form 2229E Leaves Out

The Ontario lease is designed to protect tenants — not landlords. It leaves out key areas like smoking, guests, maintenance responsibility, and day-to-day expectations that often lead to disputes.

These gaps are exactly where problems start — and where this addendum protects you.

We regularly review our documents to reflect changes in Ontario’s laws and feedback from our community of landlords. When you purchase a lease or addendum, you are getting our most up-to-date version. But we always recommend you review your documents with a lawyer as laws, rules change all the time and we cannot guarantee our documents are always up-to-date in real-time.
Yes. The Ontario Landlord Protection Addendum is designed to be used with the mandatory 2229E — not instead of it. Your clauses are added into Section 15 of the government form. Both documents are signed together at lease signing.

Yes. Every clause is drafted specifically for Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) and written to be enforceable at the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB). This is not a generic Canadian template.
In Ontario, landlords can include additional terms as long as they don’t conflict with the Residential Tenancies Act. This addendum includes carefully written clauses designed to be enforceable while covering common gaps in the standard lease.
Yes — when properly written and attached to the lease, an addendum becomes part of the agreement. However, any clause must comply with the Residential Tenancies Act to be enforceable at the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Section 15 of Form 2229E is specifically intended for additional terms and conditions. This addendum is designed to plug directly into that section, giving you structured, ready-to-use clauses.
