Leasing to a Cannabis Grower in Ontario: The Two Gates a Landlord Has to Clear

Leasing an Ontario industrial building to a licensed cannabis cultivator or processor: the two parallel gates — federal Health Canada licensing and municipal zoning — and how they reshape a landlord's lease risk.

把工业厂房租给持牌大麻企业前，房东必须看懂的两套门槛

把工业厂房租给持牌大麻种植或加工企业，房东要同时面对两套并行、互不替代的门槛：联邦 Health Canada 的牌照与安保改造要求，以及市政分区。据《大麻条例》(SOR/2018-144)，standard 与 micro 类租客对厂房的安保改造要求完全不是一个量级。本文从用途条款、牌照撤销即违约到改造复原、保险按揭同意，逐层拆解这份商业租约的风险结构。

The Lease You Never Put on Title: What That Silence Costs a Commercial Tenant

Most Ontario commercial tenants never register a notice of lease on title — and most never need to, because of the three-year overriding-interest rule. But a long lease or a renewal option is a different story. Here is what registering a notice under Land Titles Act s. 111 actually does, and why it is a separate path from a lender non-disturbance agreement.

商业租约要不要「上产权」？Notice of Lease 能不能保护你不被新买家或银行赶走

安省商业租约要不要登记 Notice of Lease？从《土地权属法》s.111 的法律效果、三年以内租约的自动保护例外，到它与 SNDA（贷款人不打扰协议）为何是两条独立路径，逐条讲清商业租客最该担心的风险。

Buying a Gas Station in Ontario: The Licence Doesn’t Come With the Land

Buying a gas station in Ontario? The operating licence doesn’t transfer with the property. Under O. Reg. 217/01 the new owner must reapply to the TSSA, with only a 90-day bridge and a pass-or-fail inspection — the layer Phase 1 and Phase 2 environmental work never checks.

接手加油站物业：环境报告查不出的那层牌照合规风险

在安省买加油站，交割拿到的是地产权益，不是营运资格。据 O. Reg. 217/01《液体燃料》，燃油零售牌照不可转让、持牌人变更须重新申请、仅 90 天过渡窗，且发牌以检查员实地检查通过为条件——这层 Phase 1/2 环境尽调查不到。

Buying a Franchised Location? Whether You Get the 14-Day Disclosure Depends on Who You’re Buying From

Buying an operating franchised location in Ontario? Whether you get the famous 14-day disclosure turns on who you buy from, not on the fact that it is a franchise. Under the Arthur Wishart Act, s.5(1) makes a franchisor deliver an FDD 14 days before a new grant; but the s.5(7)(a) resale exemption means buying from an existing franchisee often comes with no FDD at all. Broker Arthur Zhao maps the two tracks, the four-part exemption test, and the 60-day vs two-year rescission windows under s.6.

买加盟店，你到底有没有那 14 天披露期？——安省《Arthur Wishart 法》的转售豁免是道分水岭

买一家在营加盟店，签字前到底有没有那 14 天法定披露期？关键不在「买没买加盟店」，而在你从谁手里买。安省《Arthur Wishart 法》s.5(1) 要求 franchisor 新授权前 14 天交付 FDD；但 s.5(7)(a) 的转售豁免下，从现有加盟商手里接手在营门店常常一份 FDD 都没有。持牌经纪 Arthur Zhao 拆解两条法定轨道、四个豁免要件、以及 s.6 撤销的 60 天与两年之别。
