🚨 Ontario's landlord and tenant laws changed on Ju 🚨 Ontario's landlord and tenant laws changed on July 1st 2026, and these updates could have a significant impact on both landlords and tenants. Some of the most important changes include: βœ”οΈ Tenants now have an explicit right to install air conditioning if the landlord doesn't provide it. βœ”οΈ Rent repayment agreements must use official Landlord and Tenant Board forms. βœ”οΈ Section 78 agreements can allow landlords to obtain eviction orders more quickly if repayment terms are breached. βœ”οΈ The deadline to request a review of an LTB order has been reduced from 30 days to just 15 days. βœ”οΈ New procedural rules may require tenants to pay part of the alleged rent arrears before raising other issues at a hearing. If you're a landlord, tenant, or property manager, understanding these changes is essential. Every situation is unique, and obtaining legal advice early can help protect your rights.

πŸ—οΈ Buying Pre-Construction in Toronto? Look at t πŸ—οΈ Buying Pre-Construction in Toronto? Look at the Drawings FIRST. Most buyers fall in love with the model suite and glossy brochures. But the real truth about your condo purchase is in the architectural drawings. And if you don’t review them carefully, it can cost you tens of thousands of dollars. Here are common issues hidden in condo drawings that buyers miss: πŸ“ Unit size changes Even small square-foot reductions can impact value and resale. πŸͺŸ Window placements & blocked views Future buildings, mechanical structures, or design changes can alter what you thought you were buying. 🧱 Bulkheads & dropped ceilings These often appear in the drawings but not in marketing materials. πŸš— Parking & locker location Not all spaces are equal β€” pillars, tight clearances, and distance from elevators matter. 🏒 Balcony differences Exclusive use vs common element and size changes can affect usability and value. The problem? Once the condo closes, your ability to challenge these issues is extremely limited. That’s why reviewing the builder agreement AND the drawings is critical. βš–οΈ A proper legal review can catch problems before it’s too late. πŸ“ Toronto Real Estate Law Capulli Law LLP #TorontoRealEstate #TorontoCondo #PreConstructionToronto #TorontoCondoMarket #TorontoHomeBuyers #TorontoRealEstateLawyer #CondoLawyer #TorontoPropertyLaw #OntarioRealEstate #PreConstructionCondo #TorontoInvesting #CapulliLaw
