That is all true...and the weed thing pisses me off. Some days all I feel that I do is chase down that smell.

The addendum we use is "worst case scenario". It comes across like a nazi, I know, but we ease way back on its enforcement UNLESS its needed.

This is the text of the addendum I use:

1. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES:
If the Tenant terminates the tenancy, or is in breach of the Residential Tenancy Act or a material term of this agreement that causes the Landlord to terminate the tenancy in less than 12 months upon signing the agreement. The Tenant will pay to the Landlord the sum of $ as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. Liquidated damages are an agreed pre-estimate of the Landlord’s costs such as advertising, interviewing, administration of re-renting the rental unit and must be paid in addition to any other amounts owed by the Tenant, such as unpaid rent or for damage to the rental unit or property.

2. ARREARS:
Late payments, returned and non-sufficient cheques (NSF) are subject to a minimum service charge of $25.00 each. All future payments must be made by money order or certified cheque.

3. FINAL ELECTRIC UTILITY BILL AT THE END OF TENANCY:
The final electrical bill, if not paid in full by the tenant will be automatically deducted from the security deposit.

4. PETS:
Unless specifically permitted in writing in advance by the Landlord, the Tenant must not keep or allow any animals or pets, domestic or wild, fur bearing or otherwise in the residential property. Having regard to the enjoyment, quiet possession and health requirements of other occupants in the property, as well as the nature of the property, the Tenant will not encourage or feed wild birds or animals at or near the residential property.

5. SMOKING:
The Tenant and guests of the Tenant agrees that this is a non-smoking property and smoking of tobacco products must be conducted outside the property.

THERE IS A ZERO TOLERANCE FOR THE USE OF ILLEGAL DRUGS OF ANY KIND(INCLUSIVE OF MARIJUANA) ANYWHERE ON OR NEAR BUILDING PROPERTY

6. CONDUCT:
In order to promote the safety, enjoyment and comfort of other occupants of the property, the Tenant and the Tenant’s guests must not disturb, harass or annoy another occupant of the property or a neighbour. In addition, noise or behaviours, which in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord or its agents may disturb the comfort of any occupant of the property or other person, must not be made by tenant or the tenant’s guests. The uses of illegal drugs of any kind are not tolerated at any time, or any location in the property.

7. MODIFICATIONS:

Painting of the rental unit is expressly forbidden without written consent of the landlord/landlord’s agent. Modifications to the unit(ie. TV mounting to the wall, brackets, shelves and other items that damage the walls beyond a nail hole) are forbidden without landlord/landlord’s agent’s verbal consent.
