Home / FAQs / Must a landlord give a copy of a signed rental agreement to the tenant?
Yes, the landlord is required to give the tenant a copy of the Residential Tenancies Act as well as a duplicate copy of a written rental agreement within 10 days after the date of signing by all parties or written notice of a verbal or implied rental agreement within 10 days after entering into the agreement. If the landlord fails to do this, the tenant may withhold rent until the landlord has provided the required documents. These documents may be provided in paper form or electronically to an address provided to the landlord by the tenant.
