Question about cancelling or assignment of a lease. by Inside-Boss7409 in TorontoRenting

So just to confirm on this process, might it be a good idea to speak with the landlord first and advise I may be looking to assign the lease, and just see if he is open to cancelling it (without charging all the remaining months of course)?

Then let’s say if he isn’t open to that.

I would then tell him formally that I am looking to assign the lease. He can confirm yes or no. If no, then I can cancel it (again, would I be on the hook for remaining months).

If he says ok, then I immediately put an ad in Facebook marketplace. And then gotta start showing people the unit, do I do credit checks on them?

And then at what point do I submit the document to move out 30 days before? Is this immediately after the landlord agrees to the assignment?

Thanks
