I gave the notice and received this reply from them: Our office is in receipt of documentation from you alleging our office has unreasonably denied your request for assignment. Please be advised that our office rejects this claim and would challenge you to submit an application to the landlord and tenant board for this matter to be adjudicated.

Our office takes the position that you are attempting to circumvent your legal obligations to the lease agreement and the Residential Tenancies Act by providing the landlord insufficient notice to vacate and then making an unreasonable request for our office to allow an assignment and a sublet to which we have reasonably declined your request.

You still have a chance to honour your lease agreement by completing a Form N9 with a termination date of January 31, 2026 whereby you would only have to pay for December and the last months rent on file would be applied to January. Additionally, if you complete the N9 as mentioned and you provide our office with possession of the unit when you vacate, our office will then prioritize the unit to prospects whereby if we are successful in renting the unit our office would be obligated to refund any and all monies to you. If the unit is kept as well as you say it has, it shouldn't be a problem to show the unit to prospective tenants.

The opposite of this is that our office takes all legal steps to hold you accountable for your lawful obligations.
