I am looking for advice regarding the last months rent on imposed restriction and notice required for land lord.
Last year I started imposed restriction in Ottawa and it was originally scheduled to expire in October of this year ( I needed to get an extension as my permanent residence was still not sold as of June )
well, as it happened I received an offer on my house on 02 August, and sold unconditionally a couple days later. The buyers wanted a closing date of Sept 2nd. This did not leave me with a lot of time to finalize a new house in ottawa. ( brookfield advises not to put in an offer until your house is sold... and they also hold us to the door to door move policy ) Luckily, I did mange to buy a house and the conditions were lifted on Aug 06. MY possession date is Aug 28th.
I let my landlord know on Aug 3rd that I potentially sold my house and was looking for a house in Ottawa. He said " congratulations, but I do expect you will be paying Septembers rent " I am on a month-to month lease, but a quick check of Ontario rental law indicates the Landlord is entitled to 60 days notice, or can charge you two months rent. So, I guess I am getting off lucky he is only requesting 1 month ?
I spoke with my clerk and they say that there is no policy to pay Septembers rent, and that my IR will cease on 28 August .
My career manager is aware of the situation regarding IR, but has no say in the financial policy regarding paying rent.
Am I SOL regarding rent for September? Will I have to pay $1700 out of my pocket ?
