Sublet Information
The Ontario Residential Tenancy Act (RTA) allows a tenant to sublet their leased space with the consent of the Landlord. A
sublet of a leased space has taken place if the tenant requests that the Landlord agrees to allow the tenant to give
permission to another person to occupy their lease space for a period of time within the lease term
 During the term of a sub-tenancy, the Landlord (King Street Towers) maintains all rights and
responsibilities as they pertain to the original tenant and will hold the original tenant responsible for any
breaches of the tenant’s obligations
 The original tenant may not charge a subtenant an amount for rent that is higher than the lawful rent (the
amount the tenant is required to pay the Landlord as per the lease agreement)
o The sublet will pay you directly; we recommend getting a last month’s rent deposit from
them and/or setting up a payment agreement. You will continue to pay the landlord for
your monthly rent regardless of what your sublet pays you.
 Only tenants who are current on payment of rent and other charges will be granted permission to sublease
The following outlines the steps a tenant must take to obtain approval from King Street Towers to sublet the leased space:
1. Find a subtenant who is willing to occupy your lease for a period of time within your lease term.
2. Inform your roommates of your intention to sublet.
- If you are on a group lease, all leaseholders will need to sign the “Sublet Signature Form” to indicate they
approve of the subtenant
- If you are on an individual lease, it is important to sublet to someone who meets the criteria of your unit’s
dynamic. (ie. Prospect is a female in an all-female unit, the prospect has a pet, etc.)
If you are subletting to a person who is different from your unit dynamic, all leaseholders must sign the “Sublet
Signature form” to indicate they approve of the prospective subtenant
3. Please submit these completed forms to the main office:
a. Sublet agreement
b. Schedule A with the subtenants contact information
- The Schedule A is where you indicate any extra conditions you may have (i.e. no pets allowed, rent must be
paid to you on the first, etc)
c. A copy of the subtenants government-issued ID
d. Signed Sublet Signature form (if applicable)
4. Once you receive approval from the Landlord, surrender building access privileges for the duration of the sublease
and arrange move-in times, key exchange, and room inspection as this will not be facilitated by the office
