When you’ve moved in

• If you are asked to sign a lease, make sure you read it carefully and understand it BEFORE signing it. Check that your tenancy is registered with RTB, they must be registered! rtb-register-a-tenancy 
• Ensure to take photos of the property at the beginning of tenancy AND 
• Make note of the condition of the property.  
• Seek an inventory (list) of what should be present in the property (such as a microwave). This will help judge on the deposit return, if something is already broken you shouldn’t be charged to fix it!  
• Get a receipt every time you hand over money. Don’t pay by cash if possible 
• Regarding utilities and electricity bills, shop around for the cheapest provider. It isn’t fun but super IMPORTANT. (You might be lucky and have that already sorted by the landlord.) 
• Make sure to know when bills need to be paid and budget that out in advance.  

Aim to be a decent tenant, clean up your mess, be conscious of other people living with or around you.
