foreign [Music] hi everyone I'm beta delisi and in this video we're going to talk about does the tenant need their landlord's permission in order to get a roommate hey landlords if you think that your tenant should inform you of every person who wants to live with them temporarily or they want to occupy a secondary room this video is for you listen up tenants do not need to inform landlords if they're getting a roommate occupants under the ACT are defined as people staying with a tenant temporarily whether it's a boyfriend a girlfriend whether it's a parent's visiting from overseas whether it's a tenant that got married and moved in their spouse these are all occupants occupants have no relationship to the landlord unless the landlord acknowledges them as a tenant then it becomes implied that they are a tenant a landlord is only to be informed if the person is requesting to be added to the lease in which case the landlord would actually take the appropriate steps to screen them just like they would any prospective tenant you would ask for a reference letter a rental application a credit report basically anything you would ask a prospective tenant to provide you this is what you're asking that person to provide you as well in ance to section 100 of the residential tenancies act that section makes reference to unauthorized occupants unauthorized occupants are those occupants that are actually left behind after that tenant vacates if there are any occupants that are left behind after your tenant vacates then what you would do as a landlord is pursue an eviction through the landlord and tenant board under an unauthorized occupant application if you have any questions regarding roommates or unauthorized occupy occupants call us first [Music]
