Rental withhold tax

[amd23]

Hello.
I moved to the US last October and started renting out my condo in Toronto in December. Do I need to tell my tenant to withhold and remit a % of the rental price to the CRA ?
I am not sure I am considered a non resident of Canada since I moved less than 183 days ago and haven’t asked the tenant, but I don’t want to have trouble with the CRA, as I understand I will eventually have to report this rental income in the tax return.

Thank you

You are considered non-resident as soon as you move to the states, so you should be getting ready to file for CRA (a) an emigrant return for 2024 (b) a 216 return for your rental income after October.
Read and follow the following information:

Thank you for the reply. I didn’t mention, but am I considered a non resident of Canada even if I moved to the US temporarily? I have a TN visa, it’s non immigrant, I would have to go back to Canada if I lose my job or it expires and I can’t renew it

Your intent, and actions, make you non-resident. You aren't going down on a three-month contract to work for the summer. You've moved and have rented out your place.

Go through the steps you need to take, and then you will be done.

Got it, thank you!
