Renting a room to a boarder in Ontario comes with very specific legal and practical rules. Unlike traditional tenant-landlord arrangements, renting a room where the boarder shares a kitchen or bathroom with you (the homeowner) or your immediate family is treated differently under provincial law
- Exempt from the RTA: If you live in the home and share a kitchen or bathroom with the boarder, the arrangement is not covered by Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) under Section 5(i). [1, 2]
Common Questions Ontario Homeshare Hosts Have
A boarding agreement is a legally binding contract used when an Ontario homeowner rents a room in their own home while continuing to live there and sharing a kitchen or bathroom with the occupant.
The main difference is whether you live in the home yourself. A boarding agreement is generally used when you live in the property and share a kitchen or bathroom with your housemate. A residential tenancy agreement applies to arrangements covered by Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act (RTA), where the tenant has their own separate living space.
Generally, no, if you already live in the home and share a kitchen or bathroom with the person renting the room. This type of owner-occupied arrangement is excluded from the RTA under section 5(i). In these situations, a boarding agreement is typically used instead.
The notice period should be clearly set out in your boarding agreement. 30 days is common in professionally drafted agreements, with the arrangement ending at the end of a month.
Ontario law does not generally require a boarder to have tenant insurance. However, you can make insurance a condition of the boarding agreement.
If you’re using Sparrow, SparrowCare provides additional protection for hosts, including up to $100,000 for property damage caused by the boarder and $1 million in bodily injury liability coverage. It does not cover the boarder’s personal belongings.
