Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow introduces a renovictions bylaw to protect tenants from eviction due to renovations.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow advances a renovictions bylaw to safeguard tenants from landlords who use renovations as a way to evict them and raise rent. Toronto's new bylaw requires landlords to obtain an engineer's report justifying tenant displacement during renovations, for approval by city staff. The bylaw is modelled after Hamilton's and aims to make Toronto more affordable and accessible for residents.
