When Ontario’s Form 2229E Doesn’t Apply

Ontario’s mandatory Standard Lease (Form 2229E) applies to MOST residential tenancies — but not all. If your rental falls into one of the exempted categories: care homes, sites in mobile home parks and land lease communities, most social and supportive housing, certain other special tenancies and co-operative housing, you’re legally permitted to use your own lease agreement. The Ontario Smart Landlord Lease was built exactly for these situations.

It’s a complete, custom residential lease agreement drafted for Ontario landlords in rental situations where the mandatory Standard Lease (Form 2229E) is NOT required. It covers all the key landlord-protective terms the government form either leaves out or doesn’t apply to — fully adaptable to your specific exempted property.

FOR MOST TYPICAL RENTALS, YOU MUST USE THE GOVERNMENT FORM 2229E. THEN YOU CAN USE OUR ADDENDUM PRODUCT + KIT TO PROTECT YOUR RENTAL. DO NOT USE THIS FORM OTHERWISE
The standalone Ontario Smart Landlord Lease ($39) gives you a complete, custom residential lease for Ontario’s Form 2229E-exempt rental situations. 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.

FOR MOST TYPICAL RENTALS, YOU MUST USE THE GOVERNMENT FORM 2229E. THEN YOU CAN USE OUR ADDENDUM PRODUCT + KIT TO PROTECT YOUR RENTAL. DO NOT USE THIS FORM OTHERWISE
We regularly review our documents to reflect changes in Ontario’s 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.

Unless you have a care home, sites in mobile home parks and land lease communities, student residence operated by educational institution, social and supportive housing, or certain other special tenancies and co-operative housing, this lease product WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Form 2229E is mandatory for MOST STANDRAD RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES in Ontario. If your rental falls into one of the categories listed above, you’re permitted to use your own lease — and this one is built for exactly that.
You receive the Ontario Smart Landlord Lease — a complete, custom residential lease agreement drafted for Ontario’s RTA-exempt rental situations, 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.

Even for permitted use of a custom lease form, the lease document MUST still adhere to the Ontario Residential Tenancy Act. This lease was drafted with Ontario’s RTA in mind. For complex disputes or active LTB proceedings, consult a licensed paralegal or lawyer. For day-to-day landlord protection, it’s written to hold up in practice (but ONLY for 2229E-exempt rentals).

Yes! This lease is designed as a template ‘catch-all’ for those rentals exempt from using the Form 2229E. We encourage you to review all the clauses and adapt/add/remove as you see fit to ensure it meets your specific needs. Afterwards, we strongly urge you to review your final draft with a paralegal or lawyer prior to utilizing you lease document.
Yes — but ONLY for rentals that are exempt from the mandatory Form 2229E government least form. If you have a regular house, apartment, condo, multiplex, mixed-use, etc. you MUST use the Ontario Government Form 2229E. Then you may add additional terms to that form which can be ordered here.
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.

Honestly — our customers asked for it. After launching the Ontario Landlord Protection Addendum, we had requests from landlords in care homes, shared accommodations, seasonal rentals, and co-operative housing who needed a complete standalone lease, not an addendum to a form they weren’t using.

Form 2229E simply doesn’t apply to their situation, and they had no solid Ontario-specific lease to fall back on. We built the Ontario Special Residential Lease in direct response to that demand — a full, RTA-compliant lease that works as a starting point for every exempt rental scenario our customers were navigating.
