The Landlord Release Of Information Form is an essential document in Canadian residential and commercial tenancy relationships, designed to facilitate legal and transparent information sharing while ensuring compliance with privacy legislation. This form becomes necessary when landlords need to verify tenant information, communicate with third parties about tenancy matters, or share tenant information for legitimate business purposes. It typically includes specific authorizations for credit checks, employment verification, rental history verification, and other relevant information gathering. The document must comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) at the federal level, as well as applicable provincial privacy laws. The form serves as a protective measure for both landlords and tenants by clearly documenting what information can be shared, with whom, and under what circumstances.

1. Identification of Parties: Details of the landlord/property management company and the tenant(s) providing authorization, including full legal names, property address, and contact information

2. Purpose of Authorization: Clear statement of why the information is being collected and how it will be used

3. Information to be Released: Specific list of what personal information is authorized for release (e.g., rental payment history, employment verification, rental references)

4. Recipients of Information: Identification of who is authorized to receive the information (specific individuals, organizations, or categories of recipients)

5. Duration of Authorization: Specific timeframe for which the authorization is valid
