Landlords renting out more than two properties are obliged to register their leases in the HMS Rent Register within 30 days of signing.
If the landlord has not registered the lease upon delivery of the rented housing, the tenant may register the lease in the HMS Rent Register.
All landlords, regardless of their definition under the Income Tax Act, can register in the HMS Housing database and thus contribute to the collection of real-time rental market data.
