Rent Safe TO for Tenants
“Apartment Building Standards” is a bylaw enforcement program that ensures apartment building owners comply with building maintenance standards. The program applies to apartment buildings with three or more storeys and 1tenor more units.

Residents need to contact their landlord first and submit service requests for issues such as pests, low or no heat, plumbing problems, leaky ceilings, or problems in the common areas of the building.

Landlords need to respond to urgent service requests, such as no heat or water, within 24 hours. Non-urgent service requests need to be responded to within seven days. If you get no action from your landlord and problems persist, you can contact 311 for the RentSafeTO team. For more information, please see the RentSafeTO for Tenants webpage and this brochure.
