The market has changed. This is true. And, depending on how long you've been licensed for, you may not have had much experience in working a transitional/buyers market. For the most part, and depending on which geographic market you focus on, we aren't seeing multiple offers anymore. DOM have increased, we are seeing prospective buyers visiting homes more than once as they try to make a decision, ultimately resulting in buyers taking their time when it comes to committing to a purchase.

AS PER TREB: Mandatory Provincial Residential Tenancy Agreement TREB Members represented landlords and tenants on almost 55,500 rental transactions reported through Stratus in calendar year 2017. If you represent clients in rental transactions, read on below for important information on the new mandatory Standard Lease Form, which comes into effect today!... As part of Ontario's Fair Housing Plan and Rental Fairness Act, the provincial government is introducing a new standard lease that will be mandatory for private residential leases signed on or after April 30, 2018, including tenancies in single and semi-detached houses, apartment buildings, rented condominiums and secondary suites (such as basement apartments). Recent Revisions to the OREA Form 400: Residential Tenancy Agreement (Standard Form of Lease) OREA has made revisions to Form 400 in response to the new requirements per the Residential Tenancies Act. The Form #400 revisions are as follows: Clause 12; first line was revised to identify the lease will be drawn by Landlord on the standard form of lease as per Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) & Clause 13; is a new clause for party (landlord and tenant) acknowledgement that there will be a standard form of lease as prescribed by RTA. All form Clauses were re-numbered thereafter. Note: The purpose of OREA Form #400 Agreement to Lease - Residential is as a negotiating tool only and the mandatory government standard lease form for landlords is the actual formal lease document. Further, three OREA Standard Clauses were deleted due to effects of RTA amendments; OREA Standard Clauses in LEASE/RES Clause 2, 8 & 14 Other Important Information It is important to note that this standard lease form does not apply to most social and supportive housing, retirement and nursing homes, mobile home parks and land lease communities, or commercial properties. The government will develop separate standard leases to address these other types of residential tenancies. CLICK THIS LINK TO VIEW DOCUMENTS: https://drive.google.com/open
