A property manager/owner cannot, at the start of a new tenancy, solicit, accept or invite a tenant to pay more rent in advance that exceeds two weeks for a periodic tenancy agreement, a rooming accommodation agreement or movable dwelling tenancy agreement and one month for a fixed tenancy agreement, even if a prospective tenant makes an offer to pay more than the amount prescribed in the legislation.

‍Note: throughout the course of a tenancy, a tenant may negotiate how much rent in advance can be paid.

Rent bidding or accepting rent offers higher than the advertised price, are banned.

Reletting costs – are calculated on the remaining time on the tenancy or rooming agreement and whether the fixed term agreement is greater or less than three years. For agreements up to three years it's the lower amount of the specified reletting costs or the rent until a new tenant/resident moves in.
