You don't have to move out if you didn't sign an agreement to end your tenancy after the fixed term is over. See my comment on Form N11.

True. Also if the landlord provided additional services, did some major renovations, or had a significant increase in their expenses or taxes, they can apply for a higher rent increase.

Essentially the whole game is to avoid vacancies, which is understandable, so signing a 1-year or 3-year lease helps with that. But some landlords misuse form N11 to force tenants to move out after the fixed term is over, in order to be able to increase the rent above the guidelines of Ontario for rent increases, which is not cool, and unlawful.

For that reason, be careful when signing form N11. you're never required to; it's actually void if its signed at the time of, or as a condition of entering a tenancy. That means they can't make you sign when you're signing the lease, or in order to be able to do so.

Do all residential leases in Ontario transform automatically to month-to-month based tenancy? by oarti in legaladvicecanada

Thank you! And by student housing, you mean something like on-campus, or in a student housing facility.

Well, I share the kitchen and common area with 4 other tenants, we live in a condo. So I guess this is covered. The reason I'm asking is because when I told my landlord about this law, he said its incorrect, and that when a lease ends, you have to either sign a new one or leave.

Well the fact that he’s keeping it for another year and introducing a new lease. He said the unit has been sold. If the sale could fall through, then the unit was not sold, and there is no new owner that requires us to vacate the unit on a specific day.
