Last year, Jose Murano signed a lease for a fixed term of one year, for a two-bedroom apartment in London, Ontario. The term of the lease is expiring at the end of next month. The other day, Jose came home to find a For Rent sign for his apartment posted on the lawn outside the building. When Jose asked the landlord what was happening, the landlord explained that because Jose's fixed-term tenancy was expiring soon, the landlord was trying to find a new tenant. Jose told the landlord that he has no intention of moving out at the end of his fixed-term lease. Jose has come to you for advice. Does he have to move out?

 If a tenancy agreement for a fixed term ends and has not been renewed or terminated, the landlord and tenant shall be deemed to have renewed it as a monthly tenancy agreement containing the same terms and conditions that are in the expired tenancy agreement and subject to any increases in rent charged in accordance with this Act.
