Yukon (YK) lease form
Quick answer
Yukon does not mandate a single prescribed standard form, but the Residential Tenancies Act (S.Y. 2025, c. 7), in force September 1, 2025, requires every tenancy agreement to include legislated standard terms set by regulation. The government publishes an official template. Every written agreement must be signed by both parties and a copy given to the tenant. Key requirements include a security deposit cap of one month's rent, a new regulated pet damage deposit, a CPI-linked rent increase index, and no-cause eviction is abolished.
Revun generates a Yukon-ready lease with the required disclosures and clauses built in, then handles e-signature, rent, and renewals on the same platform.
All fees and charges payable in addition to rent must be disclosed to a prospective tenant before signing.
The agreement must identify the landlord and provide a contact address for service of notices.
A signed move-in condition report is required at the start of tenancy so the landlord can claim against the security deposit at the end.
The landlord must give at least three months' written notice of any rent increase and the increase must not exceed the Whitehorse CPI-based residential rent index.
The landlord must give the tenant a signed copy of the tenancy agreement within 21 days of signing.
