If your agreement has an end date, it’s called a “fixed-term” agreement. You are agreeing to live in the unit until at least that date.

If you move out of a unit with a fixed-term agreement before the end date, you may be responsible for continuing to pay rent, even if you give the landlord advanced notice.

Fixed-term agreements don’t automatically end at the end of the term. In many cases, the agreement continues as a “periodic” agreement. There are exceptions, so contact us if you have questions.

Your Social Insurance Number (SIN) is private, and you do not have to give it to your landlord.

Landlords can ask for it, but you can say no. If they do ask, you can also ask:
❓ Why they need it
❓ How it will be used
❓ Who it will be shared with

For more information about sharing personal information when renting, contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

We're proud to share that our Executive Director, Ellen Mullally, is a finalist for the 2026 Workplace Wellness Award! 🎉

The award is presented by YMCA WorkWell and Women's Nonprofit Network to recognize leaders in the nonprofit sector who are fostering healthy, supportive workplaces by championing well-being, work-life balance, and sustainable workplace practices.

"Ellen has transformed workplace culture at Community Legal Information by championing trust, flexibility, and employee well-being. She reframed sick days as wellness days that can be used without justification, increased staff vacation time, introduced a $500 annual wellness grant, and created quarterly Staff Fun Days to foster connection and balance. Her commitment to building a supportive, sustainable workplace is reflected in strong staff retention and engagement."
