NOTE: BILL 184 PASSED
BY DOUG FORD CONSERVATIVES

Illegal rent increases become legal after 12 months

Bill 184 allows for an illegal rent increase to be deemed legal if the tenant does not challenge it within 12 months of the increase. This means if the tenant learns that their rent increase was illegal after 12 months of paying that rent amount, they are no longer able to dispute the increase because the rent is deemed to be legal. Tenants should carefully read their Notice of Rent Increase. The landlord must give tenants 90 days' notice before the rent increase takes effect. Tenants in rent-regulated units should look up the annual rent guideline and confirm the landlord calculated the rent increase correctly. If the notice is incorrect a tenant does not have to pay the rent increase.  If a tenant discovers an error after starting to pay the new rent amount, they can bring an application to the LTB to have the funds returned.

Following several days of debate, Bill 184 was carried on division and received Royal Assent on July 21, 2020.

LINK TO AKELIUS CANADA TORONTO TENANTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL Updated Oct. 18, 2019 AVOID AKELIUS - WORST LANDLORD EVER Fordwych Road - June 2018 - ongoing If you are considering an Akelius property, STAY AWAY! Living in an Akelius property has been THE WORST experience I have had in nearly 15 years of renting properties in London. FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, I HAVE BEEN LIVING ON A LOUD, FILTHY AND UNSAFE CONSTRUCTION SITE! Save yourself the time and headache - go inform yourself and read the many bad reviews their tenants have posted online (Trustpilot, Google Reviews, Yelp). Now, search Google News for their negative media coverage. Then, ask yourself - why take the chance with Akelius? There are countless other properties with better landlords to choose from. COMPENSATION: After much complaining and having to unnecessarily follow-up my emails repeatedly as they were attempting to ignore me, Akelius reluctantly offered 20% rent reduction. They initially tried to scam me...

Akelius Residential halts renovation strategy after UN scandal

Akelius Residential halts renovation strategy after UN scandal   Controversial corporate landlord Akelius Residential will no longer focus on renovating buildings after facing a backlash from the United Nations and its tenants. It plans to cut construction staff by 400 by the end of 2022 and focus on new builds, as well as upgraded properties. It commented that the good times for upgrading properties that require extensive renovations are over. Akelius still targeted doubling its portfolio of properties over the course of the next decade. The Sweden-based company manages a total of 44,000 rental apartments. In May the UN accused the firm of breaching the international human rights of its tenants by having them live in poor conditions, aggressively increasing rents and threatening evictions. In countries with rent controls the company was accused of renovating properties with the end goal of hiking rents. The UN communication was sent to the governments of Canada, German...
