flag London’s council approved a heat rule for AC-equipped rentals, but critics say it leaves vulnerable tenants unprotected.

flag London’s city council has approved a bylaw requiring landlords with air conditioning to keep rental unit temperatures below 26°C from June 16 to August 31, but only in buildings already equipped with AC. flag Critics say the rule excludes vulnerable tenants in older, hotter buildings without cooling, including low-income renters, seniors, and people with disabilities. flag A push to expand the measure with cooling centers, transit passes, and education failed. flag The bylaw, with fines up to $100,000 for repeat violations, heads to full council on October 14. flag The committee also approved $3.6 million to convert the Boyle Memorial community centre into a winter warming site.
