Can I require a tenant to use Padder Guarantor?
Understanding your legal obligations when referring Padder Guarantor across Canada.
No. In Canada, residential tenancy laws vary by province and territory, but across all jurisdictions, landlords cannot require tenants to purchase Padder Guarantor—or any third-party product—as a condition of tenancy.
However, tenants may choose to purchase Padder Guarantor voluntarily. This can be helpful for applicants who need support qualifying for the lease.
You are welcome to refer prospective tenants to Padder Guarantor as an optional way to support their lease application, but participation must always remain voluntary and not be a condition for rental approval.
