After our conditions were lifted on the house we purchased, we gave official notice to the management company to advertise the house which is now listed on rentfaster.ca (probably amongst others)

We are paying $2100/month, however they have it listed at $2500/month. Are they entitled to do that? I'm fairly confident they will get it rented in this market but I just wanted to see if they are in breach of any rules. The house next door just rented for $2500/month so the number is certainly reasonable.

Also, FYI for those who might find themselves in a similar situation, as per the RTA, "The RTA prohibits a landlord from charging a fee for giving consent to an assignment or sublease of a residential tenancy agreement."

So they can charge us for re-listing the property on our behalf and taking part in showings, but they can't charge someone for wanting to sublet the property.
