How many tenants can be in 1 bdr apartment Toronto?

Hi,

please let me know:

1) how many tenants can be in 1 bdr apartment in Toronto?

2) our current rent agreement has one tenant in it and two occupants. We want to change it so that we have equal rights, so we want to become tenants. If the tenant is not willing to do that can we enforce it?How many tenants can be in 1 bdr apartment Toronto?
1. Based on your details it would be reasonable to assume that the same number of tenants may occupy an apartment as the total number of occupants/tenants. For argument's sake it would reasonable to assume that only 3 or 4 persons could live in a one bedroom regardless of whether they have tenant status or occupant status.

2. The only way you can change the status of the existing occupants is to have the landlord and current tenant agree to make such a change. The landlord does not have to insist that the two persons listed as occupants be listed as "tenants" nor does the person listed as a tenant have to agree to the idea.
You cannot force the tenant to have you sign on as tenants. The reason you cannot force the tenant to do this is because there is an existing contract between the landlord and the tenant and a contract cannot be changed unless both parties are in agreement unless of course there is some sort of violation.
