sigh... 我打电话去Tribunal 问了，他们说因为我交钱了，所以就是有法律效应的。"money exchange" 就会算作leagally bound already.....
我晕 .... 那还要签 合同 干吗的
Even though this money exchange constitutes an act to the agreement. But this does not mean you are liable for all the damage given you have already give them one month notice in advance. I strongly suggest you to ask for a copy of the rental agreement. Bring this agreement and the rental application to University Ottawa Community Legal Clinic, and ask for help.

Since you did not sign an agreement, I don't think the landloard have the right to ask you for subsequent damage (loss of rent) given you have gave notice a month ahead. This sounds a total BS. I would also suggested you to prepare a written notice about your intention to not moving in, and give this written to you landlord as soon as possible. In you written notice, you may want to restate that you have given him a verbal notice (also put down the day you gave the verbal notice) regarding this matter.
When I was reading the application you have signed from your last post. All the terms and conditions are unfair to the renter. Most of the time, landlord try to put unreasonable terms in the contracts or aggreements. Even though you signed it, you can still chanllenge the contract or agreement in the small claim court (you don't need a lawyer to go to small claim court), most of these unfair terms and conditions will easily defeat. Landlord usually use this type of contract to threaten the renter to pay damage. All they want is to get money from you. Some renter will pay the money the landlord ask for, becasue they feel they are obligated becasue of the signed contract. However, in Canada, you can chanlenge the contract if the contract is unreasonable.
