IMPORTANT NOTES
The Sublessor stays liable to the Landlord for rent and damage for the whole sublease term — choose your subtenant carefully.
Get the landlord's consent IN WRITING before the subtenant moves in.
Do a move-in inspection with dated photos; attach them to this agreement.
Security deposit rules (whether one is allowed at all, and limits) vary by province — in some provinces deposits are illegal.
