Including CL Partner on Property Rental Agreement?

Hello again, I've reached another bit that leaves me a little unsure of what to do.

I'm a Canadian currently living in the UK with my common-law partner who is English. My visa allowing me to live and work here expires on the 26th of February, 2017. I'm hoping to sponsor my partner through the Common-law Family Class Sponsorship.

IMM 5540 question 11 asks for proof of intention to re-establish in Canada, including a Property Rental Agreement, which I am able to attain - but not sure on whether to have my future landlord include my partner on this Agreement. I'm confused as I can imagine it may be a bit presumtuous to include her due to her obviously not yet being accepted to live in Canada, but might it not also look good to CIC that my partner and I have signed a Rental Agreement together and are ready to live together, in Canada, in a committed fashion; and that my landlord will be aware of my partner possibly living me?

I just can't help but think it may be strange to show that if my partner has a chance of being able to come back to Canada with me in February, I've only provided CIC with a Rental Agreement showing that only I will be renting the property.

Thanks in advance, as this has been a bit of a head-scratcher for me and one of the last things we've got to worry about in our application before sending it in.

I would put her on the rental agreement. Assume that everything regarding the application goes through, otherwise like you say it kind of looks weird.

Plus if she'll be living with you she'll need to be at least listed on the rental agreement regardless.
