As the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tribunalsontario.ca\/documents\/ltb\/Brochures\/A%20Guide%20to%20the%20Residential%20Tenancies%20Act.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Residential Tenancies Act<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> states, it should be kept \u201cup to the standard that most people would consider ordinary or normal cleanliness.\u201d At a bare minimum, this means you should:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dispose of garbage and refuse properly to prevent accumulation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean up after guests to maintain the tidiness of the rental unit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure pets are kept clean, and any mess they make is promptly cleaned up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep kitchen appliances, countertops, and sinks clean and free from food residue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean bathroom fixtures, including toilets, sinks, and showers, to prevent mold and mildew buildup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regularly vacuum or sweep floors to remove dirt and debris<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-fix-damages-caused-by-you-or-any-guest\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fix damages caused by you or any guest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Landlords are required to do repairs and maintenance work on their property, as well as make repairs caused by normal \u201cwear and tear.\u201d However, as a tenant, you are responsible for fixing any damage done by you, your roommate(s), or your guests, regardless of whether or not it was an accident.&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you broke the tiles in your bathroom while trying to drill holes into the wall to mount a mirror, then you would be responsible for fixing the damage because you caused it. The same goes for guests. Say your friend who is visiting for the weekend accidentally stains the carpet. You would be responsible for cleaning or arranging for professional cleaning to restore the carpet to its original condition.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Residential Tenancies Act also notes that this extends to \u201ccommon areas\u201d such as the hallway, elevator, stairway, driveway, or parking areas.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, this is where it <a href=\"https:\/\/youset.ca\/en\/tenants-insurance-guide\/\">pays off to have tenant insurance<\/a>, as it can help cover damages you, your roommate(s), or your guests may cause to your rental property.&nbsp;<\/span> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<section id=\"post-cta-block_6c6db08d6a5f916521ea1f622c3c8729\" class=\"post-block pt-8 pb-8 lg:pb-20\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lg:flex justify-between items-center gap-x-6 rounded-lg bg-indigo-600 px-8 py-7 shadow-[0_2px_10px_0_theme(colors.surface.background.disabled)]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-white lg:mb-0\">Get the best price on tenant insurance year-after-year<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.app.youset.ca\/start?lng=en&#038;externalId=blog\" class=\"the-button the-button--white !text-text-primary\">Get a quote<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-pay-your-rent-on-time\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pay your rent on time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it might seem self-explanatory, paying your rent on time and in full is one of your most important responsibilities as a tenant. Granted, exceptions can be made, in which case it\u2019s important to get them documented in writing.&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Residental Tenancies Act also states that \u201ca tenant should not withhold any part of the rent, even if the tenant feels that maintenance is poor or a necessary repair has not been done.\u201d This is cause for eviction should you not have been approved by The Landlord and Tenant Board to do so. <\/span> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-obey-the-law\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Obey the law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like paying your rent, obeying the law might seem like an obvious responsibility as a tenant, and yet, it does happen. So let us remind you to abide by all Ontario laws and regulations, including refraining from engaging in illegal activities within your rented property. This ensures not only your safety and well-being but also that of your neighbours and the community you live in.\n\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-respect-the-terms-of-your-rental-contract\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Respect the terms of your rental contract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the above are all responsibilities set forth by the Residential Tenancies Act, tenants are also obligated to respect the terms set forth between tenants and landlords in the rental contract. These can include specific limitations on the use of the space, as well as guidelines for pet ownership or what modifications, if any, you\u2019re allowed to make in your rental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-next-steps\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having tenant insurance is one of the safest and easiest ways of ensuring that you\u2019ll be able to honour your responsibilities as a tenant without having to pay a huge bill in case of an accident. Not to mention, many landlords in Ontario want to see proof of insurance before they enter a rental agreement with you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/youset.ca\/en\/tenant-insurance\/\">buying tenant insurance<\/a> that fits your life and your budget has never been easier with the help of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.app.youset.ca\/start?lng=en&amp;externalId=blog\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouSet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
