What you need to know about ‘rent reductions’ in Ontario

Are you renting in Ontario? Then here’s what you need to know about rent reductions and eligibility.

Key Takeaways

• Rent reductions can be issued if amenities originally available to a tenant are taken away

• Usually, this is a parking spot, backyard access, laundry, cable and/or internet

• Rent reductions can also be sought when changes are made to the living space that may constitute a breach of the lease, such as a renovation resulting in a loss of square footage

• To apply for a rent reduction, tenants must file a T3 form to the Landlord and Tenant Board within a year of losing the amenity 

• Landlords do not need to be notified about the application by the tenant

Can a zoning ‘revolution’ save Canada from a housing crisis?

On Oct. 20, Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie returned from her temporary leave to overrule a previous rejection by the city council and allow the building of four-unit housing on low-rise residential lots.

Key Takeaways

• Cities in Canada are undergoing a zoning "revolution," with many municipalities making significant changes to zoning rules to address the housing crisis. Zoning restrictions have traditionally limited housing options to single-family homes or condo towers in residential areas, leading to the neglect of "missing middle housing" options.

• The federal government's $4-billion Housing Accelerator Fund, launched in May, is a significant driver of rapid zoning changes. It incentivizes municipalities to make zoning changes, including constructing more fourplex and mixed housing units, to address housing shortages.

• Experts argue that Canadian cities need to adapt zoning rules to meet the evolving needs of the population. Single-family housing doesn't cater to an aging population's desire to downsize. Zoning changes are essential to providing a wider range of housing options.
