Complete the Ontario standard lease without retyping your contact details
Ontario's mandatory standard residential lease asks for the landlord's and tenant's name, address, and contact details alongside the rental unit information. This guide is an example of storing the repeating identity fields in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
Start from the official Ontario source and always use the current version — the standard lease template may be updated:

What this form is about
Ontario's Standard Form of Lease is mandatory for most private residential tenancies. It collects landlord and tenant contact details, the rental unit address, rent details, and any additional terms agreed by both parties.
Before you start: what to gather
- Your name, address, and contact details (as landlord or tenant).
- The rental unit address.
- Rent amount, tenancy start date, and any additional negotiated terms.
Confirm whether the standard lease applies to your tenancy type on ontario.ca.
