Designed by Canadian Landlords, For Canadian Landlords.
Because Standard Leases Aren’t Enough Anymore.

We Know What It’s Like Out There.

If you own a rental property in Canada today, you already know the reality: the system is heavily tilted in favor of the tenant. From months-long delays at landlord-tenant boards to complex new regulations, one small mistake in your paperwork can cost you thousands of dollars, endless stress, and the control of your own property.

We started LandlordForms.ca because we were frustrated. The mandatory government leases provided by the provinces and territories are designed to meet basic legal requirements and protect the tenant’s rights. But who is looking out for your rights? Who is protecting your investment from unauthorized Airbnb sub-leases, property damage, or unpaid utilities?

The answer is simple: You have to protect yourself. And it starts with the right lease.

Why “One-Size-Fits-All” is a Costly Mistake

You can find cheap, generic lease templates on massive, international legal websites. But Canadian tenancy law isn’t generic. It changes drastically from province to province.

A clause that perfectly protects a landlord in Alberta might be completely illegal to enforce in Ontario. A generic template downloaded from a US-based form site won’t hold up when you’re standing in front of an adjudicator at the BC Residential Tenancy Branch.

That’s why we don’t do “one-size-fits-all.” We spent the time and resources to develop customized addendums and leases for every single Canadian province and territory. Whether you need a legally compliant Addendum to attach to Ontario’s mandatory Form 2229E, or a comprehensive residential lease for Nova Scotia, our forms are explicitly tailored to the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) of your specific jurisdiction.

Premium Protection, Without the Lawyer’s Hourly Rate

Hiring a real estate lawyer to draft a custom lease addendum can easily cost upwards of $500 to $1,000 or more. Going without one can cost you your entire rental income.

We bridge that gap. Our province-specific Addendums and Lease Templates are professionally drafted to close the loopholes left open by standard government forms. For the cost of a family fast food meal, you get access to robust, RTA-compliant clauses covering:

• Strict prohibitions on unauthorized short-term rentals (Airbnb)
• Clear utility payment and transfer responsibilities
• Cannabis cultivation and smoking bans
• Pet damage rules (where legally applicable)
• Thorough property maintenance expectations and more!

Want total peace of mind? We also offer comprehensive Protection Kits for every jurisdiction. These kits bundle your core lease or addendum documents with 49 essential forms—from late rent notices and legal entry warnings to move-in/move-out checklists—so you are prepared for every scenario a tenancy throws at you.

Build By Landlords, For Landlords

We are proudly 100% Canadian. We use these very same forms for our own properties because we refuse to leave our investments exposed to gaps in standard legal documentation.

Our philosophy is straightforward:

• Clarity prevents conflict. Clear expectations from day one stop disputes before they start.
• Documentation is your best defense. If it isn’t in writing, it didn’t happen.
• Your time is valuable. You shouldn’t have to spend hours researching provincial laws to write a single clause.

Whether you are a first-time investor renting out a basement suite, or a seasoned property manager overseeing a commercial portfolio, our tools are designed to keep you organized, prepared, and in control.
