Document background
The Room License Agreement serves as a crucial legal instrument in Canadian property management, particularly where traditional residential tenancy arrangements are not suitable or desired. This document is specifically designed for situations where the property owner or institution needs to maintain greater control over the premises while granting occupancy rights, such as in university residences, corporate housing, or managed accommodation facilities. It differs from standard lease agreements by creating a license relationship rather than a tenancy, giving the licensor more flexibility in terms of access and termination. The agreement typically includes comprehensive terms regarding room use, shared facilities, services provided, and conduct requirements, while ensuring compliance with relevant provincial property laws, human rights legislation, and health and safety regulations.
