Why Northwest Territories Landlords Need a Custom Lease

The Northwest Territories doesn’t require landlords to use a government lease form. That flexibility is valuable — but only if your lease is properly drafted. A generic template may not reflect the NWT’s specific tenancy rules, leaving you exposed when a dispute reaches the NWT Rental Office.

The standalone NWT Smart Landlord Lease ($39) gives you a complete, custom residential lease. The +Kit version adds 49 forms for everything that happens before and after move-in — tenant screening application, late rent notices, entry notices, inspection checklists, behaviour warnings, move-out documentation, and more. If you want protection for the full tenancy lifecycle, not just signing day, this is the complete solution.
We regularly review our documents to reflect changes in Northwest Territories’ laws and feedback from our community of landlords. When you purchase a lease, 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.
For your full protection, we always advise customers to use government issued lease forms whether they are officially mandated or just “highly encouraged”. However, at the time of this writing, Northwest Territories does NOT require a government-issued lease. This lease is a complete standalone document — nothing else required.
Yes — it’s a one-time purchase with no subscription or per-use fee. As long as you use it yourself for YOUR own properties that you own or manage, use it as many times as you like.
You receive the NWT Smart Landlord Lease — a complete, custom residential lease agreement drafted for the Northwest Territories’ Residential Tenancies Act, in Word and PDF with a full usage guide — plus the Protection Kit: 49 additional landlord forms, notices, checklists, and templates covering tenant screening, lease setup, inspections, rent issues, tenant conduct, and end-of-tenancy documentation.

You receive both an editable Word (.doc/.docx) file and a PDF version. The Word file lets you customize clauses for each tenancy in minutes. You can make cosmetic changes as you see fit. The PDF is ready to print and sign.
The lease was drafted with Northwest Territories RTA in mind. For complex disputes or active NWT Rental Office proceedings, consult a licensed paralegal or lawyer. For day-to-day landlord protection, it’s written to hold up in practice.
In Northwest Territories, you can draft your own lease or use any form or template for a Lease – however, it still MUST not conflict with the Residential Tenancies Act. This is why generic templates, US companies boasting Canadian leases, or other inadequate options are dangerous. Our Smart Landlord Lease is drafted to comply with Northwest Territories law and address the hot-button issues that Northwest Territories landlords face.
Yes — when properly written, our Smart Landlord Lease (for Northwest Territories) acts as a legal document between Landlord and Tenant. Just remember any additional or added clauses must comply with the Residential Tenancies Act to be enforceable at the hearings.
Yes. The lease is fully, 100% adaptable and customizable for any change including term changes. Simply edit the term period to reflect a month-to-month tenancy. Whenever making any changes (and even using our Lease right out of the box) we always encourage you to get it reviewed by a lawyer and/or paralegal to ensure compliance.
You can reuse this document for all your properties and tenants. Simply edit the file as needed and attach it to each new lease.
