==12. Two Methods of Creating a Tenancy RelationshipTenant=====a) By Formal Contract===A tenancy interest is granted by a contract known as a tenancy agreement or lease. Often the parties will enter into an express agreement (see Section III.C: Contractual Nature of the Tenancy Agreement). The executed tenancy agreement governing the tenant’s possession may be written, or oral, or both (see the s 1 definition of “tenancy agreement”). To be enforceable, the elements of a complete contract (offer, acceptance, and consideration) must be present (see Chapter 9: Consumer Protection). ===b) By Implied Contract===Every tenancy agreement entered into on or after January 1, 2004 must be prepared in writing by the landlord (RTA, s 12(1)).
Section 13(3) of the RTA provides that within 21 days after a landlord and tenant enter into a tenancy agreement, the landlord must give the tenant a copy of the agreement.
