Master Lease Literacy Before It Costs You
Too many renters sign leases they don’t fully understand — only to find out later that something wasn’t fair, legal, or enforceable. This course gives you the tools to speak up early, avoid conflict, and feel more in control of your rental experience. Built for Ontario. Backed by law. Designed to prevent problems before they begin. This course is educational only and does not constitute legal advice. © 2025 LeaseGuard Ontario™. All rights reserved.

Meet Your Instructor
Kyla Eckert , the founder of LeaseGuard Ontario, created this course after being handed a lease with unlawful clauses - a situation dismissed by both agents and landlords. That experience fueled her mission: to ensure no renter - and no support worker - is left powerless or unsure at the signing stage.
