Yes. Every link goes straight to the official form published by Service New Brunswick and the Tenant and Landlord Relations Office, so you always get the current legal version.
Do I have to pay for any of these forms?
No. All New Brunswick tenancy forms are free from the government, and so are the links here.
Which lease do I have to use in New Brunswick?
New Brunswick requires the Standard Form of Lease, the prescribed government form. You and your landlord each keep a signed original.
Is there a rent increase form?
No. New Brunswick has no prescribed rent increase form. A landlord only needs to give plain written notice, at least six months ahead, and the increase is capped at 3 percent a year.
Are the forms available in French?
Yes. New Brunswick is officially bilingual, so the forms come in English and French. Most are a single bilingual file, and where they are separate we link both.
