Does Ontario&#39;s Residential Tenancy Agreement include a term that makes the Agreement subject to the mortgagee or chargee’s prior consent?
<p>My dad visited Hong Kong recently and was unnerved to learn that the HK gov't hasn't <a href="https://geoexpat.com/forum/61/thread258114-2.html#post2320990" rel="nofollow noreferrer">standardized a residential leasing form</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The laws governing residential tenancy agreements are far looser than they are in other countries. There is no government-mandated standard legal agreement, so it is absolutely critical that you read the proposed agreements in detail, several times, and have someone else such as a professional relocation agent, solicitor or a colleague with experience in renting in Hong Kong review the agreement as well before you even think of signing.</p>

<p>I'm quoting the <a href="http://www.clic.org.hk/en/topics/DIY_Residential_Tenancy_Agreement/all.shtml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">University of Hong Kong's Community Legal Information Centre's template</a> merely as persuasive (not binding!) authority. </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>[4.] e. If the Premises is subject to an existing mortgage or charge, then this Agreement is subject to the mortgagee or chargee’s prior consent.  If the Landlord fails to obtain such consent and consequently the mortgagee or chargee seeks repossession of the Premises, the Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by written notice, the Landlord shall return to the Tenant the Deposit without interest within 7 days from the termination of this Agreement and shall indemnify the Tenant against all liabilities, claims, damages and costs incurred by the Tenant as a consequence of such repossession or termination, including relocation costs.</p>

<li><p>Am I right that Ontario's <a href="http://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/ssb/forms/ssbforms.nsf/FormDetail?OpenForm&amp;ACT=RDR&amp;TAB=PROFILE&amp;SRCH=&amp;ENV=WWE&amp;TIT=2229E&amp;NO=047-2229E" rel="nofollow noreferrer">standard lease</a>  lacks such a term shielding the Tenant from the Landlord's liens? I can't find it. </p></li>
<li><p>Which other Canadian provinces and territories express such a term against Landlord's liens?</p></li>
</ol>

<h2>It’s unlikely that they are needed</h2>

<p>The common law position in most jurisdictions (HK may be an exception) is that the assignees of the landlord (including a mortgagee in possession) are still bound by the lease as is the tenant.</p>
