I wouldn't want to live...I didn't want to fight it. I wouldn't want to live with them if things were sour. I know a lease is necessary and we've signed one in our new place. <BR/><BR/>When I lived in Montreal leases were such a big deal and there's a strong agency that works to maintains renters rights.
