It states in part"a copy of [a] summary [of the RLTO] shall be attached to each written rental agreement when any such agreement is initially offered to any tenant or prospective tenant by or on behalf of a landlord and whether such agreement is for a new rental or a renewal thereof… ". Do you have to waste the paper, and attach a summary, if your dwelling is excluded?

I moved the recent reply to the ASK RLTO section of the forum. It was my mistake for having the reply button available in this section.
