Bilav of Toronto was aimed at preventing unnecessary removal to increase the fare in the cover of renewal, will be implemented next week.
From July 31, zamindars will require a license, before they can start repair or renewal, so wide, that tenants need to go out of the unit.
“Renewable renovation license bylaw aims to prevent eviction of bad belief and to protect the tenants from the practice of ‘renewal’, to preserve the affordable rental stock of Toronto and establish a transparent and equitable process for landlords is necessary to complete the necessary reconstruction,” reads a news from the city of Toronto.
The bylav, adopted in November 2024, had a reaction to the high and increasing number of renewal in the city, which “affects low income and marginalized communities, increases the insecurity of housing and causes loss of inexpensive rental housing options.”
What should the landlord know
Along with obtaining a rented renovation license, the landlords who want to operate repair or renewal, who require an empty unit under the Provincial N13 process, if they plan to return to the unit after renewal, will have to provide compensation or alternative housing to the tenant. If the tenant does not want to return, the landlord will have to provide rent-inter-compensation.
During the license application process, the landlord should provide evidence of the approved building permit and evidence that the empty possession is required.
Formal information should be provided to the tenants and plans should be presented to the city, underlining compensation or housing system. The landlords should also demonstrate the ongoing compliance with these rules at every stage of the process.
Do tenants need to know
If the tenants are issued an N13 notice to eliminate the tenancy, the landlord will have to receive a rented reconstruction license in advance. Tenants will have access to a public online registry where they can confirm whether the landlord has obtained the necessary license and the tenants can report suspicious violations directly in the city.
Tenants are also considered compensation or alternative housing.
If they need support services, tenants can be called 3-1-1 to using free and professional legal information, rights information and multi-speaking support to tenants.
