FAQ
  • What happens if I give less than 45 days’ notice?

    The notice will be considered invalid under the Residential Tenancy Act, and you may be required to continue the tenancy or face a dispute resolution claim.

  • Can I use a handwritten version of RTB‑35?

    Yes, but a fillable PDF is recommended because it reduces errors, ensures legibility, and creates a digital record.

  • Do I need to attach any supporting documents?

    Only if the reason for vacancy requires proof (e.g., a sale agreement). Otherwise, the RTB‑35 alone is sufficient.

  • Is the Formize PDF Filler free to use?

    Yes. You can fill, save, and download the form at no cost. No software installation is required.

  • Can I email the completed RTB‑35 to my tenant?

    Absolutely. Once you save the completed PDF, you can attach it to an email or upload it to a tenant portal.

  • Do I need to keep a copy of the notice?

    Keep a saved copy for your records for at least the length of the tenancy, as it may be requested during dispute resolution.

  • What if the tenant disputes the notice date?

    Provide the saved PDF with timestamps from the Formize app as evidence of when the notice was completed and sent.

ABOUT

Forms for landlords and/or tenants to propose action relating to tenancy agreements.

RTB-35 is one of documents that are used in the process of renting or leasing a property. These forms establish the legal agreement between the property owner (landlord) and the tenant, outlining the terms and conditions of the rental arrangement. Here are some common rental or lease forms:

Rental Application: This form is typically completed by prospective tenants who are interested in renting a property. It collects personal information about the applicant, such as their name, contact information, employment details, rental history, and references. The rental application helps landlords assess the suitability of tenants and make informed decisions.

Lease Agreement: The lease agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines the rights and responsibilities of both the landlord and the tenant. It covers important details such as the duration of the lease, rent amount, security deposit, late payment fees, pet policy, maintenance responsibilities, and any other terms specific to the rental property. Lease agreements can vary in length and complexity depending on the rental market and local laws.

Rental Agreement: Similar to a lease agreement, a rental agreement is a contract that governs the rental of a property. However, rental agreements are generally used for shorter-term rentals, such as month-to-month arrangements. Rental agreements typically have more flexibility and can be terminated or modified with shorter notice periods compared to longer-term leases.

Move-In/Move-Out Inspection Forms: These forms are used to document the condition of the rental property at the beginning and end of the tenancy. They detail the condition of each room and any existing damages, ensuring that both parties have a record of the property's condition to resolve disputes regarding security deposits or damage claims.

Notice to Vacate: This form is used by either the landlord or the tenant to provide notice of intent to terminate the tenancy. The notice period required may vary depending on local laws and the terms of the lease agreement or rental agreement.

It is important to note that rental or lease forms can vary depending on the jurisdiction and specific requirements of the landlord or property management company. It is recommended to consult local laws and seek professional advice to ensure compliance with the applicable regulations and to use the appropriate forms for the specific rental or lease transaction.
