How do I Sign My Lease?

Your lease will be emailed directly to each applicant named on the lease for their signatures. It is important to provide Property with an accurate, unique email address for each lessee, as each applicant needs to sign the lease using a separate email address. If you are unable to provide a unique email address for each applicant to submit their electronic signature, please notify your Tricon Leasing Representative so that other arrangements can be made. The lease must be signed by all parties within 48 hours or it will expire, and the suite may be placed back on the rental market.

What if I Want to End My Lease Early?

A lease agreement (Residential Tenancy Agreement) is a legal and binding agreement, and all residents are responsible for the term of their tenancy. However, we understand that there are situations that may require you to leave your suite early. Should this occur, please contact the Resident Services Office for instructions on how to assign your suite.

What is a Lease Agreement?

Do I Need Renters Insurance? If so, Why?

As per Section 11 of the Ontario Lease, renters insurance is required. Property requires all leaseholders to carry a minimum of $1,000,000 Property Loss and Personal Liability Insurance Coverage, and Property must be listed as “additionally insured” on the policy. The amount of protection for a leaseholder’s personal property is up to the leaseholder and provides peace of mind that in the event of an accident, burglary or unforeseen disaster, your personal property will be protected.

How Much is My Rent Deposit?

Is the Last Month’s Rent Deposit Refundable?

Your last month’s rent (LMR) deposit will be applied to the rental amount owed on your last month of living at a property. At the end of your lease term, should you wish to vacate the property, a 60-day notice to vacate is required. For example, if your lease term ends on December 31, 2023, and you wish to vacate the suite at this time, a notice to vacate needs to be received by our management office no later than November 1, 2023. Your last month’s rent deposit will be applied to the rent that will be due on December 1, 2023.

How do I Avoid Being Scammed?

Unfortunately, due to the high incidence of fraud in the rental housing industry, both online and in-person, it is essential to ensure that you are dealing with an authorized representative of Tricon Residential. Be savvy and insist on credentials that clearly show that the agent is who they say they are. Property representatives are always happy to verify their identity. Do not hesitate to ask for proof.

What do I do if I am a Victim of Fraud?

If you believe that someone other than a Property representative is trying to contact you, please visit or contact the Resident Services Office immediately!
