I did a quick crash course on the 1997 Tenant Protection Act, and found a few sections that might be of interest to you:
Tenancy agreement
Name and address in written agreement
8. (1) Every written tenancy agreement entered into on or after the day this section comes into force shall set out the legal name and address of the landlord to be used for the purpose of giving notices or other documents under this Act.
Copy of tenancy agreement
(2) If a tenancy agreement entered into on or after the day this section comes into force is in writing, the landlord shall give a copy of the agreement, signed by the landlord and the tenant, to the tenant within 21 days after the tenant signs it and gives it to the landlord.
Notice if agreement not in writing
(3) If a tenancy agreement entered into on or after the day this section comes into force is not in writing, the landlord shall, within 21 days after the tenancy begins, give to the tenant written notice of the legal name and address of the landlord to be used for giving notices and other documents under this Act.
Failure to comply
(4) Until a landlord has complied with subsections (1) and (2) or subsection (3), as the case may be,
(a) the tenant’s obligation to pay rent is suspended; and
(b) the landlord shall not require the tenant to pay rent.
Notice by Landlord for Termination at End of Period or Term
Notice, landlord personally, etc., requires unit
51. (1) A landlord may, by notice, terminate a tenancy if the landlord in good faith requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation by the landlord, the landlord’s spouse or same-sex partner or a child or parent of one of them. 1997, c. 24, s. 51 (1); 1999, c. 6, s. 62 (4).
Same
(2) The date for termination specified in the notice shall be at least 60 days after the notice is given and shall be the day a period of the tenancy ends or, where the tenancy is for a fixed term, the end of the term.
Earlier termination by tenant
(3) A tenant who receives notice of termination under subsection (1) may, at any time before the date specified in the notice, terminate the tenancy, effective on a specified date earlier than the date set out in the landlord’s notice.
Same
(4) The date for termination specified in the tenant’s notice shall be at least 10 days after the date the tenant’s notice is given. 1997, c. 24, s. 51 (2-4).
Where purchaser personally requires unit
52. (1) A landlord of a residential complex that contains no more than three residential units who has entered into an agreement of purchase and sale of the residential complex may, on behalf of the purchaser, give the tenant of a unit in the residential complex a notice terminating the tenancy, if the purchaser in good faith requires possession of the residential complex or the unit for the purpose of residential occupation by the purchaser, the purchaser’s spouse or same-sex partner, or a child or parent of one of them. 2000, c. 26, Sched. K, s. 6 (9).
