Assigning a unit means that the Tenant has permanently moved out of the unit and transferred the tenancy to another person. Terms of the original rental agreement remain the same (the amount of the rent and what services are included, etc.) and the new tenant is obligated to the landlord.
Subletting a unit, on the other hand, means that the Tenant has moved out of the unit for a specific period of time, but the Tenant plans to return before the end of his or her lease. The person who moves in is a subtenant or subletter. The subtenant pays rent to the original Tenant who then pays the Landlord. A Landlord cannot refuse the idea of subletting a unit, but the Landlord can refuse to allow the Tenant to sublet to a specific person, with good reason; however, if the Tenant thinks that the Landlord is being unreasonable in withholding consent to sublet to someone, the Tenant can serve a notice of termination and file an application with the Board.
If a Tenant assigns or sublets his or her unit without the Landlord’s consent, the subtenant is considered an unauthorized occupant. A Landlord can file an application with the Board to evict both the Tenant and the unauthorized occupant; however, if the Landlord does not file the application within 60 days of discovering the unauthorized occupant, the unauthorized occupant will become a Tenant.
“I/WE have been doing business with George Brown Professional Corp for many years on files that became problematic and difficult to find closure on. Mr. Brown and staff "came to the rescue" on each occurrence and painlessly resolved the issues to our satisfaction. Paul Redley VP Commercial Mortgages“
“George fought very hard for my claim and was able to resolve the matter very quickly - if you have any small claims issues, I would highly recommend you use George and his staff.“
My husband and I hired George Brown for a landlord and tenant dispute. Since the moment we hired him, he immediately lifted a huge weight off of our shoulders. George made us feel confident in the process and he was reassuring every step of the way! We had to do very little in regards to the process as George handled everything in a timely manner. The best news..we won our case! Would definitley hire him again in the future, if required.
