Is there a standard lease length for renting in Toronto?

I'm looking to rent a two-bedroom apartment in Toronto with a roommate starting this spring. Can anyone clarify if there's a standard length for leases here, or can I find month-to-month options? I want to understand my tenant rights and what to expect from potential landlords under the Ontario RTA.
