Lease Takeover Offer - Is It Too Good to Be True?

Posted by kindmind2 • December 3, 2025 • 9 comments

I've been approached with a cash offer to take over someone's lease in Toronto, but it feels suspicious. Why would someone pay me to assume their lease? Is there a hidden issue with the apartment or potential eviction risks that I’m unaware of? I'd love to hear others' experiences.
