Never been in such situation, so thought I ask if there's any "cons" in doing that.
We had to go to the RTB for my uncles unit, he only had a verbal contract with his tenant who stopped paying rent. At the hearing, my uncle had a diary of payments, dates, notes, and that was good enough to show evidence of a contract, payment, etc.

You don't need to use the official RTB forms to make the tenancy legitimate. As long as it shows the basic information. Even without it, the tenant has all the rights the RTB affords them, contract or not.
