In Canada, renting a house requires a contract. Lease lease is a written contract between the landlord and the tenant, which lists the amount of rent and the relevant provisions of the landlord and is legally binding. The average homeowner needs a contract of six months to one year. Homeowners and renters have their own obligations and rights.
