The Residential License Agreement is specifically designed for situations where traditional lease arrangements are not suitable or desired in the Canadian context. This document is commonly used in scenarios such as student housing, short-term corporate accommodation, or shared living arrangements where the property owner needs to maintain greater control over the property. It establishes a licensor-licensee relationship rather than a landlord-tenant relationship, offering more flexibility while still providing clear terms for occupancy, use of facilities, and payment obligations. The agreement must comply with relevant Canadian federal and provincial legislation, including human rights laws and property regulations, while clearly distinguishing itself from a residential tenancy agreement. This type of agreement is particularly useful for temporary accommodation arrangements where the occupant's right to exclusive possession is not intended.
