Good evening everyone!
Yesterday there was more debate around Bill 23 – More Homes, Built Faster Act. It’s still on its second reading and hasn’t progressed yet. I haven’t had a chance to do a deep dive on what it does yet, but you can find my more brief summary here.
We also saw the introduction of Bill 24 – Health Care is Not for Sale Act (Addressing Unfair Fees Charged to Patients). Bill 24 puts in place protections from unfair fees when dealing with healthcare, mostly by designating them as professional misconduct and allowing for the suspension or revocation of licenses for a doctor or independent health facility that charges “unfair fees”.
Finally Bill 25 – Rent Stabilization Act was introduced. Bill 25 introduces several new measures for rent control, such as limiting rent for new tenants to the same rent paid by the previous tenant, establishing a rent registry that would allow the public to view current rent prices at any rental property as well as allowing potential tenants to view a landlord’s history with any orders issued by the LTB, and requiring the LTB to provide legal representation for any tenant that goes before the LTB about any rent increases that are greater than what guidelines allow.
