BACKGROUND:
The City owns several residential properties in Kitchener that were acquired a number of years
ago. These residential properties are leased out to suitable tenants for market value rent. As of
April 2018, the government of Ontario has mandated that all new residential tenancies must
have a lease using the Standard Form of Lease.
REPORT:
The proposed tenant has been selected and wishes to occupy the property located at 20 David
Street starting from March 1, 2019. The proposed rent has been set at $1695 per month and all
utilities are to be paid by the tenant. The property does not come equipped with appliances of
any kind so the tenant must supply their own.
The mandatory Standard Form of Lease shall be used for this tenancy and there will be
additional terms applicable to the tenancy, specifically forbidding the property to be used for any
income generating activities, illegal purposes, daycare for children, smoking including cannabis
in or within 9 metres of the property and the storing of unlicensed vehicles, RVs or boats on the
property.
