In Ontario, a Residential Tenancy Agreement signed by roommates is legally binding under the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA).
So if you roommate breaks your verbal agreement and that causes you to have to pay their portion or pay moving expenses or damages your credit, you can pursue legal action against them to get compensation. Small claims court is easier and cheaper to navigate. A letter from a lawyer threatening action can go a long way.
How to write a roommate agreement Names of both tenants. The property address. The dates the lease begins and ends. The amount of rent each person pays. Who pays for utilities. Who pays the security deposit. Which bedroom each person occupies. Who buys food, or if youre each buying your own food.
Put Your Roommate Agreement in Writing Much of your agreement wont be legally bindingfor example, a judge likely wouldnt order your roommate to clean the bathroom. Judges will, however, enforce promises regarding financial matters, such as splitting rent and paying utility bills.
Having a clearly drafted tenancy agreement that matches the type of tenancy granted is the best way of ensuring both parties understand these obligations. The NRLA has produced a number of tenancy agreements for you to either use, or use as guidance for creating your own.

This is because my current address is abroad, so this would be very useful for me. If my understanding is correct, a roommate is basically another word for a co-tenant(hence a co-leaser), but a sublet is when you go into contract with the tenant himself/herself (so my name wont be added on the lease or utility bills).
Since the roommate is not on the official lease, eviction involves providing proper written notice per your roommate agreement terms. If unpaid rent continues, you may need to seek a civil claim for possession or unpaid rent through the Landlord and Tenant Board or small claims court.
