About Ontario Rental Application Form 410 (OREA)
OREA Form 410 is the residential rental application most Ontario landlords, property managers, and real estate agents use to collect the information they need to consider a tenant: current and previous addresses, landlord references, employment and income, other occupants, pets, vehicles, and consent to a credit check. It is an application, not a lease: submitting it does not create a tenancy, and a landlord who accepts it will then sign the Ontario Standard Lease.
Ontario's Human Rights Code limits what a landlord can ask and how the answers can be used, so questions about income are used to confirm the applicant can pay the rent, not to set an arbitrary income-to-rent ratio, and information about family status, citizenship, or receipt of public assistance cannot be used to refuse an applicant. This is a free fillable helper and general guide, not legal advice.
