Expert's Assistant chat

Customer: I'm in Ontario, Canada and I am a commercial tenant who has a sub lease under my original lease. Do I have to provide my utility bills to my sub tenant? In the past I have provided just the amounts owed.
JA: Because laws vary from place to place, can you tell me what state the property is in?
Customer: Ontario Canada
JA: What are the terms of the lease? Any issues related to maintenance or upkeep?
Customer: no no issues. The lease states that they pay their proportionate share
JA: Anything else you want the Lawyer to know before I connect you?
Customer: nope!

Counsel Creed, Expert

Hi, welcome to Just Answer and thank yo for using our services. I am Counsel Creed. You DO NOT need to provide your utility bills to your tenant, UNLESS it was specifically asked for in the lease agreement. It is a good idea to always keep them, in case, god forbid there is a dispute between the two of you later on. Having said that, you still MAY give them a copy if it will help the two of you develop a better business relationship.

Customer

The relationship is strained. They are refusing to pay without scanned copies of my bills. I have sent photos of the relevant parts of the bills, as well as an invoice and emails.

Counsel Creed, Expert

Again, I think that is a good, transparent practice, but you DO NOT have to do that.

Counsel Creed, Expert

Do you have more questions for me?

Counsel Creed, Expert

If you have no further questions for now, will you kindly rate me, since that is the only way that I will get paid? You can do that by clicking on the stars symbol in the top right-hand corner of your screen. I know that it was a quick consult, but I sincerely ***** ***** I have earned five stars in your estimate. It goes without saying that I remain open to any questions that you may have in the future, at no extra cost to you, of course. Thank you.

Customer

Thanks

Counsel Creed, Expert
