What are these forms for?
Use these forms to show the terms that must be part of any lease signed in Nova Scotia. The lease a
landlord uses may look different, but must contain all the items shown here. If any of the items are not
part of the lease a tenant signs, they apply anyway.
A landlord may attach a schedule or appendix showing rules for the property. The rules must
apply to all tenants equally
help to ensure services and facilities are equally available to all tenants
OR
help to keep the building and its occupants safe and free of damage
Both the tenant and the landlord must have a copy of the signed lease. The landlord must give the
tenant a copy within 10 days of signing.
How to complete this form?
Parties
This section identies who is signing the lease. It is important to have this information in case one of
the parties needs to make an Application to Director later. Fill it out as completely as possible.
Occupants
All adults who will be living in a rental unit should sign the lease as tenants. In some cases, the tenant
may wish to have someone live with them who will not be responsible for the lease. List the names of
these persons here. If someone starts to live with the tenant after the lease is signed, add them to
the occupants section.
Type of property
This could be an apartment, house, manufactured home space, etc.
Premises
Give the complete civic address of the rental unit. If there is a PO box for the unit, provide it below.
If the tenant has more than one telephone number, list them all. The parties may also wish to share
email information. If either party wishes to serve documents by email, both parties must complete
sections 7A and 7B.
Emergency contact
The tenant should provide an emergency contact. It is ideal if the emergency contact is local, but this
is not required.
Property manager or agent
If someone manages the building on behalf of the landlord, that information goes here. Make sure the
information is complete.
If there is a building superintendent, provide this information also.

Electronic address for service of documents
Landlords and tenants may agree to provide electronic addresses to receive service of documents.
Both parties must complete sections 7A and 7B to do so.
Lease type
Two kinds of leases can be used. A periodic lease renews automatically after a set period, such as a
week, month, or year, until either the landlord or the tenant gives formal notice they want to end it.
A xed-term lease begins and ends on a specic day and the tenant must leave on that last day.
The landlord and tenant can negotiate to extend this lease by making a written arrangement.
Complete whichever of these sections applies to the arrangement you are making.
Public housing
If this lease applies to a rental unit that is part of a public housing program, the lease may also include
rules and requirements for that program. These will be attached to the lease in a schedule or appendix.
If the rules for the program include a formula for setting the rent according to the tenant’s income,
some of the rules about rent increases shown in this Standard Lease do not apply.
Tenants in a public housing program may not sublet the rental unit because there may be rules and
requirements that are specic to the original tenant. If the tenant needs to leave the space, they should
speak directly to the person who handles their affairs with the public housing program.
Rent
This section shows the rent for the unit and how often it should be paid. The landlord should also mark
what methods of payment they will accept, and who the tenant should give payment to.
Rent increases
The date the lease is entered into is referred to as the anniversary date. The landlord may raise the rent
on the anniversary date in any given year, as long as it is at least 12 months after the tenant has signed
the lease. However, in a land-lease community or co-operative housing, a landlord may choose a date
that is the rental increase anniversary date for all tenants.
If the landlord plans to raise the rent, they must give proper notice to the tenant before the tenant’s
anniversary date.
In a month-to-month or year-to-year lease: 4 months
The notice must be given before the day of the month that rent is payable
In a week-to-week lease: 8 weeks
In a lease that applies to a manufactured home space: 7 months
As above, in a public housing program, these deadlines and rules may not apply, and the tenant should
refer to the schedule or appendix given to them by the public housing program.

Rental incentives
This section is optional. If the landlord is giving the tenant a discount or special benet while they live in
the rental unit, the landlord should list it here.
This benet must continue to be provided for the whole lease. If a tenant sublets the unit with the
landlord’s permission or leaves the unit after giving proper notice as given in the Residential Tenancies
Act, the tenant does not need to repay, return or compensate the landlord for this benet.
Rent includes
This section should show what appliances, utilities, or other services are part of the lease.
Tenant: Read this section carefully and make sure you understand what is included and what is not.
Make sure what is written is the same as what you verbally agreed to.
Landlord: If you have listed something in this section, you must continue to provide it for the entire
lease. If you want to stop providing something listed in this section, that is considered to be a rent
increase, and you must give the correct notice shown in the Rental Increase section.
Tenant responsibilities and obligations
This section should list all tasks or fees the tenant will be responsible for.
Tenant: Read this section carefully and make sure you are prepared to take responsibility
for anything listed.
Security deposit
A security deposit is a sum of money held by the landlord as insurance against damage or unpaid rent.
At the end of the lease, the landlord has 3 options:
Return the security deposit within 10 days of the last day of the lease.
Make a written agreement with the tenant that the landlord will keep some or all of the deposit.
File a claim with the Residential Tenancies Program within 10 days of the last day of the lease,
claiming some or all of the deposit against damages.
A landlord may ask for up to ½ of 1 month’s rent as a security deposit. The landlord must deposit the
security deposit in a trust account. If there is a dispute, the Residential Tenancies Program may ask for
proof that this deposit was made.
Tenants and landlords should agree on how the deposit will be returned, either by the landlord sending it
to a forwarding address provided by the tenant, or by the tenant collecting it from the landlord’s ofce.
Inspection
The Residential Tenancies Program recommends all landlords and tenants do an inspection of the
unit when the tenant moves in, and again when the tenant moves out. The program provides a written
inspection report the landlord and tenant can use.
Attach the inspection report to the lease.
Tenants: If a landlord does not wish to do an inspection, do one on your own. Use the form provided by
the program, or something similar. Have a witness sign the inspection report, take pictures, or both.

Statutory conditions and reasonable rules
The Residential Tenancies Act includes a list of statutory conditions (rules) that every landlord and
tenant must agree to. A landlord can also include their own rules to a lease (see introduction).
If the landlord has rules that go with a lease, the tenant should read them carefully and initial the lease
to show they have received them.
Rental arrears
The landlord may formally serve the tenant with a Notice to Quit using Form D. If the tenant does not
pay the rent on time, the landlord may require them to leave.
If the rent is month-to-month, year-to-year, or xed term and the rent is 15 days late:
1 The landlord may serve the tenant with a Notice to Quit Form D.
2 The tenant may do one of the following:
Pay the rent they owe within 15 days and stay.
Make an Application to Director to argue that the Notice to Quit is not valid.
Leave the premises. The tenant is still nancially responsible for rental arrears and any damages
to the unit.
3 If the tenant does not do any of these things, after 15 days, the landlord can make an Application to
Director using Form K, there will be no hearing or Application to Director – Form J, where a hearing
will be scheduled.
4 Both parties will receive an Order of the Director outlining any action required.
See the guide pages on Form D for detailed instructions
Tenant’s Notice to Quit
A tenant can leave a lease at the end of the lease period (week, month, or year, depending on the lease)
or at the end of a xed term. If the tenant has a lease that automatically renews, they must give notice
that they intend to leave. The tenant must formally serve the landlord using Form C.
The table shows how much notice the tenant must give the landlord.
Landlord’s Notice to Quit
A periodic lease automatically renews at the end of the term unless a tenant gives notice (see above).
However, a landlord can give Notice to Quit at any time if
the tenant does not pay the rent
the tenant does not comply with Statutory Conditions 3 or 4 or Statutory Condition 5 for
land-lease communities
A landlord may also make an Application to Director to have a tenant leave for other reasons.
